Appellant Controversy.- [Bagshaw (Christopher
Appellant Controversy.- [Bagshaw (Christopher, atributed)] A True relation of the faction begun at Wisbich, by... the Jesuits in England... Against us the Secular Priests their brethren and fellow Prisoners, first edition, title with typographic decoration, lacking final blank, but a very good, clean copy otherwise, bookplate and inscription to pastedown, modern half morocco, [STC 1188], sm. 4to, [by Felix Kingston], 1601.
⁂ First and only edition of this scarce work relating to the Appellant Controversy. The controversy stemmed from the appointment of George Blackwell to the role of archpriest, overseeing the Catholic mission in England. His proximity to the Jesuits was seen by many of the Catholic community in England as endangering their safety and a vocal minority of priests there refused his authority. Amongst these Bagshaw was probably the most prominent leader.
Provenance: Joseph Gillow (1850-1921, Catholic antiquary and author of Biographical and Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics, bookplate and ink inscription).
