Preserving the memory: Martyrs’ Mirror

Thieleman J. van Braght’s collection preserved accounts of Christian witnesses and Anabaptist martyrs, along with letters, confessions, and reflections.

Martyrs’ Mirror brings together a large collection of accounts spanning Christian beginnings and the persecution of Anabaptists. It preserves letters and testimonies as well as narrative accounts.

The book is a historical source with its own theological purpose. This archive preserves the supplied text, makes its sections searchable, and connects each section to the intact edition rather than silently rewriting its language or dates.
