Sobre este artículo
London: Printed in the Year 1655. Reprinted for P. Meighan, 1739. [6], 267pp, [1]. With an engraved portrait frontispiece. Later diced calf, tooled in gilt and blind. Lightly rubbed, paper shelf-label to foot of spine. Scattered spotting. A reprint of the earliest life of Bishop of Rochester, cardinal, and martyr John Fisher (c. 1469-1535). First published in 1655, the book was issued under the name of Roman Catholic controversialist Thomas Bayly (d. c. 1657), who was not in fact the author. The work was for some time commonly attributed to Roman Catholic priest Richard Hall (c. 1537-1604) however, it is now thought that Hall's effort was merely a translation of an anonymous text. Regardless, Bayly acquired Hall's manuscript, made a copy, and had it published by an unidentified bookseller with a preface implying that it was his own work. ESTC T138969.. 12mo.
