<P>Between 1554 and 1570, the Genevan printer Jean Crespin compiled seven French-language editions of his martyrology. In <EM>The Construction of Reformed Identity in Jean Crespin's</EM> 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 <I>Livre des Martyrs</I>. </P><br/><br/><P></P><br/><br/><P>By comparing each edition of the <I>Livre des Martyrs</I>, 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 <I>Livre des Martyrs</I> and will be essential reading for all scholars of the Reformation and early modern France. </P><br/><br/><P></P>
