91³Ô¹ÏÍø

Perhaps we might say, to coin two modern phrases, that Nicholas Sander saw his principal aims in the Schismatis Anglicani as: to call out Henry VIII and his supporters for their actions, which had such far-reaching consequences—and to speak truth to power. He has been an influential voice in historiography and Catholic historical and theological writing for over 450 years, and was a doughty and dynamic 91³Ô¹ÏÍø man. Three newly acquired early printings of his most famous work now strengthen our rare book holdings, as they most fittingly find their home in our library.
