This site, from the Humanities Research Institute of the University of Sheffield (England), provides online access to the Variorum Edition, which concentrates on the four English editions of Foxe's martyrology published in London during his own lifetime (those of 1563, 1570, 1576 and 1583). "The objective of this edition is to recover Foxe's sources and strategy as he sought to collect and present his picture of the protestant reformation as a transforming experience in the religious history of England and Europe, and its pre-history within the broadest historical and doctrinal context that he could conceive of. It is the dynamics of the text during the twenty years from 1563 to 1583 which this edition seeks to recover." It provides images, transcriptions, identifies textual variants, and scholarly commentary, as well as a substantial and searchable bibliography.
