Focusing on Jean Crespin's martyrology, this book examines how a distinct Reformed identity was shaped during the French Wars of Religion. It analyzes the evolving conception of Calvinist identity across all seven Francophone editions of Livre des Martyrs, highlighting the self-perception of the Reformed church and its interactions with various outsider groups. This comprehensive study is essential for scholars interested in the Reformation and early modern France, offering new insights into the historical context and significance of Crespin's work.
