Notes
Content: Printed on border: "Thirty Catholics, imprisoned at Augoulême, in the house of a burgher of the name of Papin, are tortured in various ways: --A. Some, deprived of food, are chained together in pairs, so that, becoming delirious through hunger, they may tear each other to pieces. B. Some are dragged naked along a tightly-drawn rope, which acts like a saw, cutting the body in two. C. Several are attached to stakes, and fires lighted a short distance behind them, so that their bodies may burn slowly. --Fac-simile of an engraving on copper in the "Theatrum Crudelitatum nostri Temporis' (4to, Antwerp, 1587); with a translation of the explanations given."
Source note: Military and religions life in the Middle Ages and at the period of the Renaissance. Bickers, Son [187-?]) Kellerhoven, Franz (ca. 1814-1872), Illustrator. Jacob, P. L. (1806-1884), Author.
