As he had in his "Apology", More claimed that St. German's propaganda was baseless; by doing so once more, he may well have confirmed the alienation from Henry which led to his own death. Besides an authoritative text, based on the earliest edition, this volume contains a full and detailed introduction, commentary, and glossary. The appendices present More's corretion of a passage in the Debellation; a reprint of the work of St. German he was answering; and the later career and opinions of St. German.'
