The Torments Of Protestant Slaves In The French King's Galleys And In The Dungeons Of Marseilles 1686-1707 AD is a historical account of the experiences of Protestant slaves in France during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Written by Edward Arber, the book provides a comprehensive description of the brutal treatment that these individuals endured while serving as galley slaves or imprisoned in the dungeons of Marseilles.Arber's account is based on primary sources, including letters and diaries written by Protestant slaves and their advocates. He describes the harsh conditions on board the French king's galleys, where slaves were forced to row for hours on end under the scorching sun, often with little food or water. Many were subjected to beatings, torture, and even death for refusing to renounce their faith.The book also details the experiences of Protestant prisoners in the dungeons of Marseilles, where they were held in cramped and unsanitary conditions. Arber describes the various forms of torture used to extract confessions or force conversions, including the infamous ""boot"" and ""water torture.""Overall, The Torments Of Protestant Slaves In The French King's Galleys And In The Dungeons Of Marseilles 1686-1707 AD provides a harrowing account of the persecution faced by Protestants in France during this period. It sheds light on a little-known chapter in European history and serves as a reminder of the importance of religious tolerance and freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
