*The witness of Christians who were persecuted under King Henry VIII (1509&ndash;1547) and Queen Mary Tudor (1553&ndash;1558), described by a contemporary.
*Relevant editions were published in 1559 (Latin, Switzerland), 1563 (first English edition), 1570, 1576, 1583. Nonetheless, the 1559 version gives substantial coverage of the persecution under Mary Tudor; for example Latimer, perhaps the most famous of the martyrs, is mentioned more frequently - average per page - in the 1559 version<ref>Fox J (1559) "Rerum in ecclesia gestarum....", at https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=peRDAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=Foxe+rerum+1559&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjB4t_9r97cAhVMaVAKHZHxAEYQ6AEIRjAF0ahUKEwjB4t_9r97cAhVMaVAKHZHxAEYQ6AE IRjAF#v=onepage&q=Foxe%20rerum%201559&f=false at 08 August 2018. Or for free download from the Bavarian State Library. (The 1559 version gives substantial coverage of the persecution under Mar y Tudor; for example Latimer, perhaps the most famous of the martyrs, is mentioned more frequently - average per page - in the 1559 version than in the 1641 edition. Another example is that muc h of the 1559 edition starting at the page numbered 230 deals with the reign of Mary Tudor, that is, 67% of the pages. Further, the 1559 edition only has four illustrations, of which the third shows the martyrdom of Bishop Hooper in 1555 and the fourth shows Archbishop Cranmer, in 1556, being burnt alive. Evidence is as follows. The standard pdf reader program finds Latamer (Latamerus Latamer us when nominative, etc) 66 times in the 1559 edition of 761 pages (8.7% instances per page in 1559).
