From dealer's description:"First edition of this collection of biographies by the English Catholic exile Thomas Stapleton. The ‘Three Thomases’ are Thomas the Apostle, Thomas a Becket, and Thomas More. The life of More, by far the most substantial part of the volume (the second paginated sequence), was based in part on More’s own works, but has ‘great and independent value in that it enshrines the personal recollections of More’s household who were fellow-exiles for the Faith with Stapleton in the Low Countries. Still more important was the collection of letters he received from the widow of John Harris, More’s secretary’, for which Tres Thomae is the only source (Hallett). The exact nature of the annotations in the present copy, and their origin, has not been determined – and we could not trace an example of Stapleton’s hand for comparison. In places they are extremely dense and seem to show editorial practice – grammatical corrections, the introduction of commas, substantive additions; elsewhere they seem to suggest someone analysing the structure of the text."
