Living in protestant America, it is very easy to find a copy of Foxe's Book of Martyrs. In-fact, it is so easy that every one of them I have been able to find is so vastly different that I am immediately able to realize I have little to no chance of finding the book John Foxe actually wrote. I have tried to find a modern English (or King James English) version of what John Foxe actually wrote, and in my research I have found out that the book he actually wrote was called the Acts and Monuments. That being said, I am trying to find a modern printing directly derived from the fourth edition without significant additions or subtractions (significant additions are modifications to the text itself beside changes to the language to make the English more modern, a preface written by the modern editors would not be considered a significant addition.) I have the book of Martyrs myself, one of the many editions that end at queen Mary and have no real value cause they are seriously liberal revisions of the original text. Looking up the name of the actual book, I am able to find what appears to be a good online resource and some print copies. I am wanting to buy a print copy, but I don't know what versions of the Act and Monuments may or may not be revisions. If you could point me to a hard cover edition of the fourth edition written by Foxe that I could buy, it would be seriously helpful.
Basically what I wrote in the title. There are so many different copies being sold, but a lot of the reviews are saying they are edited/abridged. I myself read through an updated through the 21st century version that I throughout felt as if I was missing out on some key information. It's kind of frustrating that such a profound book is hard to find unedited. Have ya'll had any luck finding a solid copy?
Want to get myself in my personal church history studies. Which should I read first:
Bruce Shelley's "Church History in Plain Language" or John Foxe's "Book of Martyrs"?
Is there an academic consensus as to the reliability of Foxe's Book of Martyrs and the stories/accounts it holds?
I know salvage is a graphic novel, but still I’d like to know the story.

I'll be very grateful if someone posts this. This is the first of a four-volume edition. Will post the rest if it can be accessed.
I read this once at someone’s house when I was ten, so I could be conflating, but I think there’s a cursed diamond necklace that maybe gets stolen—and a fox detective who has to solve the mystery. I remember something about a chandelier. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
Looking for something really informative, not just a collection of "fun facts". On the behavior, mannerism and psychology of Canidae or specifically Wolves/Foxes and Dogs.
I am not very educated in the field yet though, so something that explains things such as someone with a limited knowledge could understand :).
Thanks a lot!

> ##Wansong's Commentary On the Case: > > In a sermon to Dahui, Foguo said, "Ah, I see a stream of families of wild foxes with their hands over their eyes, who themselves had never seen the founder even in a dream, yet transmit to people the 'womb breath' and falsely attribute it to Bodhidharma, calling this transmitting the Dharma to save deluded beings. > > They even cite the most long-lived Chan masters since antiquity, like National Teacher An and Zhaozhou, and say they all practiced this breath energy. Also they boast of the First Patriarch with one shoe(returning to India after supposedly having died) and Puhua's empty coffin: they all say that this is the effect of this art; it can even effect complete disappearance of the body at death--they call this the twin sublimation of body and spirit. > > People love this body and fear the terror of the last day of life; they vie in transmitting teachings of 'returning to reality.' Looking at a shadow on the night before winter, they call it the host: then they 'divine sun and moon,' 'listen to the tower drum,' examine the 'jade pond,' look into the light of the eyes, and consider these the methods for shedding birth and death. > > Really they are fooling people, fabricating artificial nests, leaving to posterity the derision of eminent people. > > There's also a kind who make use of the story of the 'womb breath' of the First Patriarch, claiming that in Zhaozhou's individual songs of the twelve hours of the day and Layman Pang's 'turning the river cart' verse each divulge it, secretly transmitting its practice and maintenance, in hopes of long life and total disappearance of the body, wishing for three or five hundred years of life. > > They still don't know that this 'reality' is an illusion, an impassioned view." > > I say, nowadays many of those who look down on everyone else do so because they want others to see them dying, to enjoy putting make-up on a sore--what is there to delight in? All his life Shishuang set up a 'dead tree hall' and settled a 'dead tree congregation.' Time and again they would sit without lying down, and among them, those who died sitting or standing were very many. Jiufeng alone did not approve of the head monk. > > As for those in the present who like dying sitting or standing, why don't you investigate Jiufeng's disagreement. And tell me, what function did Jiufeng have? Ask Tiantong;
