Scarce complete run of all 9 volumes of the first edition of the fist Danish edition of Shakespeare's Tragic Works, containing the first editions of the first translations into Danish of several of Shakespeare's tragic works: Romeo and Juliet" Julius Caesar Richard II Henry IV Henry V Henry VI Richard III Coriolanus King John Henry VIII Cymbeline" As You Like It. The first volume is in the very rare first printing (usually it is found in the second, revised edition from 1811). These nine volumes constitute the entire ""Tragic Works"", begun by the renowned Danish translator Peter Foersom, who finished the first four volumes and left part of the fifth in manuscript, when he died in 1817. After his death, P.F. Wulf continued the great task of translating Shakespeare's Tragic works into Danish, finishing the fifth volume and doing the last four on his own (1818-1825).The first four volumes contain:Julius Caesar" Hamlet King Lear Romeo and Juliet Richard II Henry IV Henry V. Of these, the following have been translated and printed before: Hamlet (1777), King Lear (1790-92), but the rest of them are in the first Danish translations, first printings.Volume five consists in Henry VI, and volumes six to nine: Henry VI (continued) Richard III Othello Coriolanus King John Henry VIII Cymbeline As You Like It. Of these, the following have been translated and printed before: Othello (1792), Cymbeline (1792), but the rest of them are in the first Danish translations, first printings.The present translations of Shakespeare's works are considered the most important in Danish literature and became the standard version of the works. The first edition of these translations are quite scarce, especially all nine volumes together, and with the first volume in the first issue.(PMM 122 - first edition).
Henry VIII reproving Bishop Gardiner who was come to seize Catherine Parr while conversing with him in the Garden A hand coloured engraving from Ashburton's History of England
London W. & J. Stratford 1793 Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette gravure, qui a été habilement colorée à la main. A l'origine pour l'Histoire de l'Angleterre d'Ashburton, elle est maintenant conservée sous passe partout. La plaque est en bon état, propre et légèrement assombrie. Le bord est légèrement rugueux à l'endroit où elle était reliée à l'origine dans le livre. La gravure mesure 23 cm x 39 cm. La monture mesure 33 cm x 45 cm. Dans les dernières années du règne d'Henri VIII, sa sixième épouse, Catherine Parr, était connue pour son intelligence, sa piété et ses sympathies religieuses réformistes. Elle s'engagea dans des discussions théologiques avec le roi, remettant parfois en question ses opinions et plaidant pour des réformes protestantes. Elle devient ainsi la cible des factions conservatrices de la cour, en particulier de l'évêque Stephen Gardiner, catholique convaincu et membre influent du conseil d'Henri. L'évêque Gardiner et ses alliés s'inquiètent de l'influence de Catherine et de ses penchants protestants. Ils cherchent à convaincre Henri qu'elle est coupable d'hérésie. Gardiner réussit à obtenir un mandat d'arrêt contre Catherine, avec l'intention de la saisir alors qu'elle se trouvait avec le roi. Selon la tradition (et comme l'ont raconté plus tard des chroniqueurs tels que John Foxe dans ses Acts and Monuments), Catherine a été avertie du complot par ses amis et, peut-être, par des courtisans sympathisants. Consciente du danger, elle demande audience à Henri alors qu'il se promène dans le jardin du palais. Au cours de leur conversation, Catherine reconnaît humblement la sagesse et l'autorité du roi en matière de religion, affirmant que ses discussions n'ont pour but que de le distraire et de le réconforter, et non de l'instruire ou de le corriger. Elle se déclare son humble érudit et non son professeur. À ce moment-là, l'évêque Gardiner arrive dans le jardin, un mandat à la main, prêt à arrêter la reine. Cependant, Henry, après avoir été apaisé par l'humilité et les assurances de Catherine, se retourne contre Gardiner avec colère. Il réprimande vivement l'évêque, l'accusant d'avoir outrepassé ses droits et de chercher à semer la discorde entre le roi et sa reine. Gardiner, conscient du danger, se retire en disgrâce. Catherine fut épargnée et ses ennemis à la cour furent temporairement discrédités.
First edition. A lovely copy of this engraving, which has been skillfully hand coloured. Originally for Ashburton's History of England, it is now held beneath passe partout. The plate is in good, clean fractionally darkened condition. Slightly rough edge where originally bound into the book. Engraving is 23cm x 39cm. Mount is 33cm x 45cm. In the latter years of Henry VIII's reign, his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, was known for her intelligence, piety, and reformist religious sympathies. She engaged in theological discussions with the king, sometimes challenging his views and advocating for Protestant reforms. This made her a target for conservative factions at court, particularly Bishop Stephen Gardiner, a staunch Catholic and influential member of Henry's council. Bishop Gardiner and his allies grew concerned about Catherine's influence and her Protestant leanings. They sought to convince Henry that she was guilty of heresy. Gardiner managed to secure a warrant for Catherine's arrest, intending to seize her while she was with the king. According to tradition (and as recounted by later chroniclers such as John Foxe in his Acts and Monuments), Catherine was warned of the plot by her friends and, possibly, by sympathetic courtiers. Realising the danger, she sought an audience with Henry while he was walking in the palace garden. During their conversation, Catherine humbly acknowledged the king's wisdom and authority in matters of religion, claiming that her discussions were meant only to divert and comfort him, not to instruct or correct. She professed herself his humble scholar, not his teacher. At this moment, Bishop Gardiner arrived in the garden, warrant in hand, ready to arrest the queen. However, Henry, having been mollified by Catherine's humility and reassurances, turned on Gardiner with anger. He rebuked the bishop sharply, accusing him of overstepping his bounds and seeking to sow discord between the king and his queen. Gardiner, realising his peril, withdrew in disgrace. Catherine was spared, and her enemies at court were temporarily discredited. .
Inventory of King Henry VIII: The Transcript I: The Transcript of the Inventory,
Turnhout, Brepols, 1998 Hardback, XXVIII+512 p., 230 x 280 mm. ISBN 9781872501895.
The Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy under Henry VIII, telling us what once existed, and enabling us to identify surviving objects. The Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy. Henry VIII had extravagant ideas of image and authority and loved his possessions, amongst which where over 2,000 pieces of tapestry, 2,028 items of gold and silver plate and 41 growns. Although he left the country with heavy debts and an empty exchequer, he was far from bankrupting the monarchy as some scholars have suggested. Indeed the Inventory allows us to calculate that at the time of his death the contents of his palaces and wardrobes were worth about ?300,000 and the military and naval stores a further ?300,000. Most of what the King owned has unfortunately since disappeared. Yet the Inventory tells us what once existed, enables us to identify surviving objects and also helps once belonged to hem. The transcription of the inventory is accompanied by a historical introduction, a glossary of technical terms, and an exhaustive Index which is a major tool of scholarship in its own right.

Inventory of King Henry VIII: Textiles and Dress,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, XVII+366 p., 41 b/w ill. + 148 colour ill., 215 x 275 mm. ISBN 9781905375424.
The Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy under Henry VIII, telling us what once existed, and enabling us to identify surviving objects. This is the first of three volumes of commentary to be published, which will consist of twenty-four essays written by the leading experts on Tudor art and artefacts and which will discuss the principal categories recorded in the Inventory in their historical and archaeological context. Among the subjects covered in Volume II are the tapestry collection of Henry VIII, accounts of the tents and revels, which provided the settings and costumes for court entertainments, and the Great Wardrobe, which served as a warehouse for the King?s large and valuable stores of textiles, and a study of the vestments and textiles associated with royal worship. Altogether, the essays in this volume combine the histories of material culture, religion, politics and ceremony in a unique way that would not have been possible before the establishment of the Inventory Project twenty years ago. The essays are richly illustrated, with many of the plates in colour and where possible, images of surviving pieces have been included. Volume II will be followed by two further volumes, entitled Arms, Armour and Ordnance and Decorative Arts and Everyday Objects. Languages : English.
