Michael Christopherson was the pseudonym for Jesuit Michael Walpole, who while living in Douai defended the teachings of Cardinal Bellarmine against the attacks of one of England’s royal chaplains. His defense was printed at the English College Press in St. Omer. He dedicates the volume to James I in an attempt to draw the king’s attention to the plight of Catholics in England.

DESCRIPTION: Jesuit Henry Hawkins (bap. 1577, d. 1646) translated this study of saintly lives from its original Italian. In his note to the English reader he presents the original author, Giovanni Pietro Maffei, (1536?-1603) “thus clad, and reuersed in our English VVeedes, that he mighte now walke as familiar amongst VS, as in his natiue Vulgar he hath done : As properly Ours, as Theirs from whence he came. Since, besides that Examples and Liues of SAINTS are vniuersall, and common to the whole Church, some of theose are found to be of our Nation.” The title page has a false imprint; it was most likely printed by the English College Press in St. Omer.
