Accuracy and 'Error' in the Production of John Foxe and John Day's Acts and Monuments.

This article examines the complex bibliographical production and error-correction methods employed by John Foxe and the Elizabethan printer John Day in successive editions of *Acts and Monuments*. It focuses on Day’s use of slip-cancels—small printed slips pasted over errors—stop-press corrections, and the labeling of woodcut illustrations to address textual and visual inaccuracies. Based on detailed collation of nearly two hundred copies across the first four editions (1563, 1570, 1576, and 1583), the study reveals a fluid and sometimes inconsistent approach to correction, including misplaced slips and multiple states of text within single editions. The findings highlight Day’s commitment to accuracy despite production challenges and underscore the need for comprehensive comparative analysis of surviving copies to fully understand the printing history and editorial practices behind this influential work.
