More about this table of contents

This table serves as a true table of contents for the "Old Book," listed in order of page number, grouped into natural sections. However, it is not an exhaustive list of these martyrs, and does not replace the existing indexes in the standard 1938 or 1949 Herald Press editions of Martyrs Mirror. In many cases, this table follows van Braght's original headings. But when several martyrs are briefly discussed on the same pages, we have often grouped them together in a single section under the name of the first martyr, plus the words "and others." Also, this index was sorted by the beginning page number of each section. So if several martyrs appear on the same page, their names may not appear here in the same order they appear on the page. For that same reason, unlike a normal table of contents, page numbers are often duplicated.

Meticulously scanned by Amos Bender of Pennsylvania, this book is also available in plain text or XML format. An earlier version of this index is also available for download as a tab-delimited text file and as an XML file for research and improvements.
