This rare and historically significant work by St. Edmund Campion, the famous English Jesuit priest and martyr, offers a window into the religious turmoil of Elizabethan England. Published in 1581, “Ten Reasons Proposed to His Adversaries For Disputation in the Name of the Faith” was Campion’s bold challenge to the English universities to engage in public debate over the Catholic faith. This act of defiance against the Protestant establishment ultimately led to his arrest, torture, and execution for treason in 1581. Despite its well-worn condition, this copy represents a piece of English Catholic history and the struggle for religious freedom during the Reformation. Collectors and readers interested in early modern religious conflicts, the lives of Catholic martyrs, or the writings of the English Renaissance will find this work a valuable addition to their libraries.
