More on the 40 martyrs

From the dedication of Lives of the English Martyrs edited by Dom Bede Camm OSB:


Note: that Thomas More and John Fisher were canonized first and separately (1935) from the other English and Welsh martyrs (1970). This 2-Volumbe set was published in 1904 as a compilation of the lives of tose beatified by Pope Leo XIII in 1886 and 1895.

The lives were written by Fathers of the Oratory of the Secular clergy and of the Society of Jesus.
