Condition: Neu. Edited by Arthur Keaveney and John A. Madden. Editio princeps from the Manuscript, equipped with a full introduction, translation and commentary. An early reply by a Welsh landowner with a taste for political and religious controversy to the 1581 pamphlet in which the Jesuit Edmund Campion attempted to convert England back to the Roman Catholic Church. When Campion published his "Rationes Decem", he was eventually 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. In their introduction, the editors shed light on both Campion's and Herbert's personal background, examine the arguments of their "debate" side by side and describe Herbert's manuscript in terms of its historical context, its exact dating and transmission history as well as its state of preservation and notable textual features. Accompanying the faithful edition and translation, the commentary provides linguistic elaboration and further information on the text's historical and personal references.

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).
