Limited edition of 980 copies. 2 vols, Facsimile in red silk velvet binding on wooden boards, two brass clasps; Commentary volume bound in buckram, 21 cm, facsimile [360] pages, illustrated capitals throughout and 7 full-colour miniatures; commentary 96 pp. From the publisher's description: "Few of the treasures in the British Library evoke such a powerful reaction from visitors as the private prayer book of King Henry VIII. This Latin Psalter was one of Henry's most cherished possessions, a book he pored over and annotated throughout. His marginal notes, which can be clearly read, give us an unrivalled insight into the private thoughts and spiritual concerns of the king.King Henry's Prayer Book was designed for use in private devotion, and indeed one of Jean Mallard's miniatures shows Henry reading in his bedchamber. The Latin text is in an elegant humanist hand - easily read even today. The book is illuminated with seven exquisite miniatures and hundreds of gorgeously coloured capitals depicting birds, animals, flowers and plants. Henry's marginal notes in pen, pencil and red ink are fully translated in the accompanying Commentary volume.Exceptionally, the original binding of the Prayer Book has survived, along with most of its clasps. This has allowed us to reproduce it exactly, from the red silk velvet on wooden boards to the intricate design of the brass clasps. Inside, every detail of the original is visible, from the beauty of the glorious illuminations to the faintest of pencil marks and water marks on the vellum. Even the irregular effect of the original page edges has been achieved, by gilding them before they are sewn. The result is a facsimile that reflects both the opulence and intimate nature of this extraordinary royal treasure." Copy No. 457. Fine set in Fine solander case.…
