|description_of_content=Also known as ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs,'' it was originally published in Latin and then English. This book glorifies the Protestants who had been executed by Queen Mary. The book was to serve against "the persecutors of God's truth, commonly called papists."
|description_of_incident=Several editions of this book had been published, but the Roman Catholic church did not morally approve of its message.
|description_of_result=The book was not banned, but it gave the idea to the Roman Catholic Church to start a "Condemned Books" list. Authors on that list mainly consisted of Protestants.
