Thomas Cranmer. E-book. Formato PDF Arthur James Mason - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
This book is not intended to be an exhaustive account of the great Archbishop's life, or to go minutely into every question that may be raised in connexion with it. It is rather an attempt to use in a fairly broad fashion the results of the researches of many students, with a View to setting Cranmer as a living and intelligible figure before the English reader of to-day. He is still, as the late Lord Houghton called him in the preface to his Reeautacyous, the most mysterious person age of the British Reformation but the history of the sixteenth century is gradually becoming known, and Archbishop Cranmer has received a large share of sympathetic study.
What Became of the Bones of St. Thomas?: A Contribution to His Fifteenth Jubilee. E-book. Formato PDF Arthur James Mason - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
His Grace the present Archbishop of Canterbury some time ago expressed to me the wish that I would put together the documents bearing on the question whether the bones discovered in 1888 were those of his great predecessor or not. He was good enough to desire that my book on the Mission of St Augustine (Cambridge, 1897) should be taken as the model - that is, that the reader should have before him the documentary evidence in such a form as to be able to draw his own conclusions. This I have endeavoured to the best of my ability to do. To a certain extent I have departed from the model, in not giving the original everywhere in full, where a document is translated from the Latin. In the present shortage of paper it seemed wasteful to print many pages of Latin matter which is easily accessible to students, as in the case of the narratives of the Passion, or of Erasmus's Colloquies. The work has been delayed by many interruptions, but it is now issued in good time for the "Jubilee of St Thomas," - the fourteenth Jubilee of the Translation, the fifteenth of the Martyrdom.
