Between 1554 and 1570, the Genevan printer Jean Crespin compiled
seven French-language editions of his martyrology. In The
Construction of Reformed Identity in Jean Crespin's Livre des
Martyrs, Jameson Tucker explores how this martyrology helped to
shape a distinct Reformed identity for its Protestant readership,
with a particular interest in the stranger groups that Crespin
included within his Livre des Martyrs. By comparing each edition of
the Livre des Martyrs, this book examines Crespin's editorial
processes and considers the impact that he intended his work to
have on his readers. Through this, it provides a window into the
Reformed Church and its members during the outbreak of the French
Wars of Religion. This is the first volume to comparatively study
all seven French-language editions of Crespin's Livre des Martyrs
and will be essential reading for all scholars of the Reformation
and early modern France.
