This is the second volume in a seven-volume collection - published
in nine parts between 1864 and 1890 - comprising Venetian and other
northern Italian state papers relating to England. Translator and
editor Rawdon Lubbock Brown (1806-83) lived for many years in
Venice, had unrivalled access to the Venetian archives and
travelled widely to find documents in other Italian libraries and
archives. He had previously published two volumes of Sebastian
Giustinian's dispatches to Venice from Henry VIII's court (also
reissued in this series). This second volume contains documents
from the years 1509-19, beginning with the accession of Henry VIII
- a momentous period for the Venetian state, which was then seeking
an alliance with England. Giustinian's ambassadorial correspondence
is reproduced here. The editor's preface puts the various documents
into historical context, and the appendices include a history of
Italian cipher.
