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.

Zack and the rest of the gang from The Cosmical Pub are back Strange things have been going on around The Pub of late; paranormal-type things, ghostly sightings, like that. Who you gonna call? An inexperienced ghost-hunter wannabe and his self-proclaimed "psychic" accomplice, that's who. They want to make their own Reality TV show, and are hot on the scent of potentially Big Money, and if this turns out to be real... But there's more going on here than meets the third-eye, a lot more, and our amateur ghost-hunter? He might just end up finding something more altogether real than he'd ever imagined possible, because something bad is coming, something really bad, something even worse than "reality" TV, and when that happens, both sides of the veil are going to be in very big trouble indeed. Be afwaid, be verwy, verwy afwaid...
