Or for free download from the Bavarian State Library. (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 than in the 1641 edition. Another example is that much 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 martyred. Evidence is as follows. The standard pdf reader program finds Latamer (Latamerus when nominative, etc) 66 times in the 1559 edition of 761 pages (8.7% instances per page in 1559); likewise Cranmer 23.1% in 1559; the standard pdf reader program finds Latimer 230 times in the 1641 edition of 3282 pages (7.0% instances per page in 1641); likewise Cranmer 9.1% in 1641. Again, the standard pdf reader first finds the number 1554 at the page numbered 230 and thereafter never finds any earlier date (searching for arabic numerals in the 1559 edition).)</ref> (Latin, Switzerland), 1563 (first English edition), 1570, 1576, 1583.<ref>Foxe J (2009) "Foxe's Book of Martyrs", edited by King JN, Oxford World's Classics.
