Sebastian Giustinian (1460 1543) served as the Venetian ambassador
to the court of Henry VIII between 1515 and 1519, during which time
he sent back frequent and detailed dispatches to the Signory of
Venice. Guistinian's letters paint a vivid portrait of a diplomat's
life at court. In this second of two volumes, Giustinian writes of
Sir Thomas More, an outbreak of plague, the predicament of
Catherine of Aragon, and many other diplomatic and social matters.
Translator and editor Rawdon Lubbock Brown (1806 83) had an
unrivalled knowledge of the Venetian archives: he was the first
historian to appreciate the importance of the dispatches sent from
London by the Venetian ambassadors. His edition of Giustinian's
correspondence provided an entirely new insight into Henry's reign
when it was first published in 1854. Volume 2 also includes an
account of the English embassy to the French court in 1518.
