2009 — Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband minimal angeschmutzt, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / binding minimally soiled, otherwise a good copy. - In 1581 on a mission to convert England, the Jesuit Thomas Campion published his Rationes Decern. In this pamphlet he set forth his belief that the Roman Catholic Church was the one true church and challenged Reformers to a debate. Unfortunately England at the time felt threatened by invasion and by the Counter Reformation. Campion’s act was construed as treason. He was arrested, tortured, tried and executed at Tyburn. Not all reaction was so brutal however and a number of Protestant divines made measured replies. The first of these replies came from Sir William Herbert, a Welsh landowner with a taste for political and religious controversy. Herbert’s Responsio was never published. In this editio princeps the text has been edited from the Manuscript and equipped with a full introduction, translation and commentary. It will be of interest to Tudor historians, students of religious controversy and neo Latin scholars. Dr Arthur Keaveney is Reader in Ancient History, University of Kent (U.K). Dr John Madden is Professor emeritus, National University of Ireland, Galway (Republic of Ireland). Previously they have edited Sir William Herbert’s Croftus sive de Hibernia Liber (Dublin, 1992). / Contents Acknowledgements Introduction 1. Sir William Herbert 2.
