Thomas Stapleton (1535–98), one of our college’s foremost theologians, was possibly named after St Thomas More—who was martyred under Henry VIII for refusing to avow royal over spiritual supremacy; More was executed just days before Stapleton’s birth. From Winchester ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, Stapleton proceeded to ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, where he was elected a fellow on 18 January 1553; five years later, in 1558, he was ordained a priest under Mary I. But within a couple of years, he had been forced to flee to the Low Countries, following Elizabeth I’s accession.</h3> <h3>And, of course—we have been acquiring some remarkable modern books and archival documents too.&nbsp;</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Nicola Howell Hawley, endpapers illustration to Andrew Caldecott’s <em>Simul</em> (2024)<br>²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Library, Oxford, NC/CAL</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2025-01/22NCN8%20%282024%29%20Skelton-Foord%20on%20Acquisitions%202024.pdf" type="application/pdf;
