Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a history of Protestant history and martyrology which was originally published as Actes and Monuments of these Latter and Perillous Days, Touching Matters of the Church in 1563 by John Day. The first edition contained over 60 woodcut illustrations depicting the gruesome deaths of various Protestant figures and was the largest publishing endeavor undertaken in England up to that time. Four editions were published in Foxe's lifetime, with the first abridged edition printed two years after Foxe's death; these later printings tended to heavily edit Foxe's original text to focus on the sufferings of Protestant martyrs in particular.
