Thomas Benet (martyr)
Thomas Benet (died 1531) from Cambridge, was an England, English Protestant martyr during the reign of King Henry VIII of England, Henry VIII. In 1524, he moved to North Devon, Torrington, North Devon, with his wife and family so that he could exercise his religious conscience more freely in a county where no one knew him. He was executed by burning on 15 January 1531, for heresy, at Livery Dole outside Exeter in Devon, under the supervision of Sir Thomas Denys, Thomas Dennis (c.1477-1561) of Holcombe Burnell, near Exeter, then Sheriff of Devon. (Nicholas Orme states that the posting of documents on and around Exeter Cathedral for which Benet was condemned took place in October 1530, and his execution consequently took place early the following year.) He is said in ''Foxe's Book of Martyrs'' to have died with "his hands and eyes to heaven, saying 'Lord, receive my spirit!'". A memorial to him and his fellow martyr Agnes Prest, who was burned nearby for the same offence in 1557, ...

Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia
''Benét's Reader's Encyclopedia'' is a reference work devoted to world literature. The first volume appeared in 1948, edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner William Rose Benét, older brother of the writer Stephen Vincent Benét. Benét set out to "present to he readera well-organized supplementary memory, in one volume". The encyclopedia was based on Ebenezer Cobham Brewer's classic '' Dictionary of Phrase and Fable'', and offered a compendium of curious information (such as " Aani. In Egyptian mythology, the dog-headed ape sacred to the god Thoth"). The second edition appeared in 1965, with the addition of new entries, the expansion of old entries, and the addition of illustrations. More widely available is the third edition, edited by Katherine Baker Siepmann and published in 1987. While this edition no longer mentions such arcane figures as Aani, it offers substantial background on a wide variety of literary figures and increased the international scope of the volume.
