Gualterus Manilius, Ghent, 1608. Unstated. Hardcover (Vellum). Very Good Condition. Illustrator: Johannes Leopold. Book This small volume brings together two important Counter-Reformation works: Maurice Chauncy on the martyrdom of 18 Carthusian monks in England under Henry VIII between 1535 and 1540 and Arnold Havens on twelve Carthusians killed in the Netherlands in 1572 by soldiers of William of Orange. Both have a separate title page and one internal engraving by Johannes Leopold (pp. 48 & 27).Chauncy provides what Gribbin (2012) calls “a largely accurate and moving account of the martyrdom” of the English monks, who refused to take the Royal Supremacy oath recognizing Henry VIII as the head of the Church.
