History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century, Volume 1 by J H Merle d'Aubigné (1794 - 1872). Translated by Henry Beveridge (1837 - 1929)

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/history-of-the-reformation-in-the-sixteenth-century-volume-1-by-jean-henri-merle-daubigne/
The History of the Reformation by Jean-Henri Merle d’Aubigné is a classic work on the great events that re-opened the Christian gospel to a needy world. It tells the story of outstanding people who had a love for God and his word, and who dared to present biblical truths which had been obscured for centuries. The book has helped and encouraged Christians through difficult times, and given them an understanding of the background from which our freedom in the faith has come.

D’Aubigné was a Swiss Protestant pastor. He was also a historian with a great understanding of the Bible, along with a broad and deep knowledge of the Reformation. This great work of his is made up of five volumes. Volume 1, the subject of this recording, comprises five books: Book 1 – State of Matters before the Reformation; Book 2 – Youth, Conversion, and First Labours of Luther (1483-1517); Book 3 – The Indulgences and Theses; Book 4 – Luther before the Legate (May-December 1518).

  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard

    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Done - although I think you can add sections yourself. Do you see a button when you're in the MW that says Add New Section?

Thanks Tiffany - it's been a while since I recorded anything with sections longer than 30 minutes, and I'd forgotten the ten second rule! I've corrected Section 1. I've done the same for the Preface which was also longer than 30 minutes.

I've also uploaded Chapter 2 for PL.

Thanks Tiffany - the problem with this book is that I'm finding the account so gripping and fascinating that it's difficult to put down! :lol:
