At his unmissable blog “Mutual Enrichment,” Fr. John Hunwicke has reminded us of that fateful day in 1581 when Edmund Campion’s pamphlet (in Latin) against the Protestant Reformation in England appeared on the seats of the audience at the annual “University Act” at Oxford. The title loosely translates as “Ten propositions that Edmund Campion, of the Society of Jesus, has offered to uphold in a debate against his adversaries about the (Catholic) Faith.”

I managed to track down a scan of the original printing, and in a characteristic bout of “productive procastination,” I spent a couple of hours cleaning up the scan to make it as legible as I could and then formatted it for at-home printing: Rationes decem (1581)

In deference to Fr. Hunwicke and his British readers, the resulting pdf is sized for A5 paper. But I’m sure that anyone who finds it here will be able to resize it for printing on whatever paper is desired.
