Studies in Life from Jewish Proverbs
Elmslie, W. A. L. (William Alexander Leslie)
Proverbs, Hebrew
The “Tracts” reprinted in this volume are among the most famous in
history. They were read eagerly everywhere in England, from the Court to
the country farmhouse, when they appeared at the end of the sixteenth
century. They are racy in style, and the unknown author, “Martin
Marprelate,” brings great resources of wit, humour and argument to bear
in his tremendous onslaught upon the Bishops. Mr. Pierce gives a very
scholarly edition of the tracts, enriched by many valuable and
illuminating notes.
Dr. JAMES MOFFATT, in _The British Weekly_, says:--“Will rank as a
standard edition. It is not possible to convey any idea of the
historical scholarship and research which have gone to the making of
this book, but Mr. Pierce will have his reward in the consciousness of
serving the cause of religious liberty; and in the gratification of
those who have to study the religious situation of England during the
sixteenth century.... Their historical importance is considerable.”
“One of the most valuable contributions to our history ever
made.”--Principal W. B. SELBIE.
