History Of The Reformation Of Religion Within The Realm Of Scotland, The

A new scholarly, fully annotated edition of John Knox's classic 'History of the Reformation in Scotland' is long overdue. The last scholarly edition in the original orthography was edited by David Laing in 1847. The present edition aims to reproduce Knox's text using the earliest surviving manuscript, dated to 1566, taking account of variations. The result is an extensive revision of the Laing text, which it will replace as the standard edition. A vital requirement for all libraries and collections in religion and history throughout the world. The work includes an Introduction, full indexes to persons, places and subjects, over two hundred references to biblical quotations and allusions, a map and glossary.
