SUMMARY:

The present thesis analyzes the Book of Martyrs, the work of the printer, born in Arras but eradicated in Geneva since 1548, Jean Crespin. Over the course of several editions ranging from 1554 to 1570, Crespin assembled a series of news items, pamphlets, lawsuits, and documents featuring the martyrdom of Protestants persecuted in Catholic regions because of their faith. Widely received, this work enjoyed wide popularity and served as a model for the production of other martyrologies among Protestants. However, because of the disciplinary-confessional context underway in Geneva in this period, as well as Crespin's close involvement with Reformed-theological issues, from the very first edition a connection was forming between the cases of martyrdom presented and the Reformed doctrine lived and applied in Geneva. Thus, this work seeks to correlate the theme of holiness embodied in the martyrs of the work, with the formation of this disciplinary environment resulting from the confessionalization processes of the period. In addition, the research also investigated the possibility of understanding the Book of Martyrs as a hagiographic discourse. Tributaries of a tradition that was in force throughout the Middle Ages, even with the criticism of the saints and of this type of narrative, considered superstitious, we argue that the hagiographic discourse was maintained among the Protestants, especially, among the Reformed. However, this does not remain the same as the medieval or Catholic model, but has been reformed by Crespin in coherence with his own confession of faith and confessional space.
