Fisher, St John

Fisher, St John (1469–1535), became chancellor of Cambridge University and bishop of Rochester, 1504, and was president of Queen's College, Cambridge, 1505–8. He was a patron of Erasmus. He wrote three treatises against the Lutheran Reformation and was deprived, attainted, and beheaded for refusing to acknowledge Henry VIII as supreme head of the Church. His Latin theological works were issued in 1597 (republished 1967); his English works, edited by J. E. B. Mayor, appeared in 1876. His English prose style showed a great advance, in point of rhetorical artifice and effect, on that of his predecessors. He was canonized in 1935 and is commemorated on 22 June.
