Changes

In 1630 [[Pope Urban VIII]] ordered a new edition. In 1748 a revised edition by [[Pope Benedict XIV]] appeared, who personally worked on the corrections: he suppressed some names, such as those of [[Clement of Alexandria]] and [[Sulpicius Severus]], but kept others that some had objected to, such as [[Pope Siricius]]. Since then, the Roman Martyrology has remained essentially unchanged, except for the addition of new saints canonized during the subsequent years.

The reading of both ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs'' and the ''Roman Martyrology'' together is strongly recommended to the student of Christian history. See [[Ecumenical movement]].
