The Martyrdom of Edmund Campion
By Cardinal Allen
It is a brief history (primarily eye-witness accounts) of the martyrdom of St. Edmund Campion and his twelve companion priests. The author was St. Edmund Campion’s Superior-Abbot (as well as for the other martyr-priests) and he personally witnessed many of the events recorded herein. At this most desperate time for the Catholic Church, Cardinal Allen devoted life, fortune, influence, everything to the building up of the seminary at Douay in which “priests and pastors” were taught, including these martyrs. Includes sidenotes, endnotes, index, illustrations from the 1583 edition and notes on the illustrations. 164 pp hb
