520 |a John Foxe's celebrated and influential Acts and Monuments is, among other things, an indispensable source for the martyrdoms of Scottish Protestants on the eve of the Scottish Reformation. Yet although Foxe's book contains unique eyewitness accounts and documents concerning the Scottish martyrs, Foxe himself never visited Scotland, much less conducted research there. This article seeks to establish when and how he acquired the materials on which he based his accounts of these martyrs, and argues that almost all of them were sent to him in 1564 by a single informant. This informant was John Winram, one of the leaders of the Reformed Kirk, who was, before the Reformation, a participant in the heresy trials of several of the Scottish martyrs. Winram's motives in supplying Foxe with information which incriminated himself are discussed, as are the implications of this for our understanding of the Scottish Reformation. Also discussed is the significance of this for understanding the different types of sources Foxe employed in the Acts and Monuments and how he obtained them. This in turn, leads to a greater understanding of the accuracy of Foxe's work, which remains a fundamental source for the history of the Reformation in the British Isles.
