From the publisher's promotional material : "Several manuscripts survive to testify to Henry's love of music but the most important is the Royal Choirbook now British Library Royal MS II E XI. This magnificent collection of motets was presented to the 27-year-old Henry and Catherine of Aragon in 1518. lt is exceptional for the sheer size and luxury of its production its exquisite and ingenious heraldic illuminations and not least its personal significance to Henry. As part of The Folio Society's commemoration of the quincentenary of his accession this Choirbook has been reproduced for the first time in facsimile a precious link with the great musical legacy of King Henry VIII.In 1515 the Venetian envoy Sebastiano Giustiniano was invited to attend High Mass in the king's private chapel at Hampton Court Palace. He wrote that it was 'gloriously sung by His Majesty's choristers whose voices are really more divine than human. They did not chant but sang like angels and as for the counter-bass voices I do not think they have their equals in the world. Indeed the choral music produced at the court of Henry VIII was thought by many to surpass what was being produced anywhere else in Europe. Fortunately the most magnifìcent musical book associated with Iienry's reign - the Royal Choirbook a book of motets composed for the young king and Queen Catherine of Aragon - has survived.This book's magnifìcent frontispiece represents the Tudor dynasty through the symbolism of roses blooming in the garden of England with the crowned rose ruling supreme. Petrus de Opitus an Italian merchant and his son Benedictus an organist were responsible for commissioning the Royal Choirbook - and the visual compliments to the king it contains are a testament to their own ambitions. Their lavish tribute extends to the musical and literary content. Copy No. 28. Facsimile as new; in a slipcase which has several minor scuffs and small indentations but is otherwise Very Good.

Hans Holbein the Younger; c. 1497 – between 7 October and 29 November 1543 was a German-Swiss painter and printmaker who worked in a Northern Renaissance style and is considered one of the greatest portraitists of the 16th century. He also produced religious art satire and Reformation propaganda and he made a significant contribution to the history of book design. He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his father Hans Holbein the Elder an accomplished painter of the Late Gothic school.<br> Holbein was born in Augsburg but worked mainly in Basel as a young artist. At first he painted murals and religious works and designed stained glass windows and illustrations for books from the printer Johann Froben. He also painted an occasional portrait making his international mark with portraits of humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam.<br> Holbein travelled to England in 1526 in search of work with a recommendation from Erasmus. He was welcomed into the humanist circle of Thomas More where he quickly built a high reputation. He returned to Basel for four years then resumed his career in England in 1532 under the patronage of Anne Boleyn and Thomas Cromwell. By 1535 he was King's Painter to Henry VIII. In this role he produced portraits and festive decorations as well as designs for jewellery plate and other precious objects. His portraits of the royal family and nobles are a record of the court in the years when Henry was asserting his supremacy over the Church of England.<br> Holbein's art has sometimes been called realist since he drew and painted with a rare precision. His portraits were renowned in their time for their likeness and it is through his eyes that many famous figures of his day are pictured today such as Erasmus and More. He was never content with outward appearance however; he embedded layers of symbolism allusion and paradox in his art to the lasting fascination of scholars. In the view of art historian Ellis Waterhouse his portraiture "remains unsurpassed for sureness and economy of statement penetration into character and a combined richness and purity of style."<br> For Holbein "everything began with a drawing". A gifted draughtsman he was heir to a German tradition of line drawing and precise preparatory design. Holbein's chalk and ink portraits demonstrate his mastery of outline. He always made preparatory portraits of his sitters though many drawings survive for which no painted version is known suggesting that some were drawn for their own sake.<br> Ellis Waterhouse wrote that "modern" painting in England may be said to have begun with Holbein. That later artists were aware of his work is evident in their own sometimes explicitly. Hans Eworth for example painted two full-length copies in the 1560s of Holbein's Henry VIII derived from the Whitehall pattern and included a Holbein in the background of his Mary Neville Lady Dacre. The influence of Holbein's "monumentality and attention to texture" has been detected in Eworths' work. According to art historian Erna Auerbach: "Holbein's influence on the style of English portraiture was undoubtedly immense. Thanks to his genius a portrait type was created which both served the requirements of the sitter and raised portraiture in England to a European level. It became the prototype of the English Court portrait of the Renaissance period".<br> Holbein worked for Thomas Cromwell as he masterminded Henry VIII's reformation. Cromwell commissioned Holbein to produce reformist and royalist images including anti-clerical woodcuts and the title page to Myles Coverdale's English translation of the Bible. Henry VIII had embarked on a grandiose programme of artistic patronage. His efforts to glorify his new status as Supreme Head of the Church culminated in the building of Nonsuch Palace which started in 1538. By 1536 Holbein was employed as the King's Painter on an annual salary of 30 pounds—though he was never the highest-paid artist on the royal payroll. see C. Müller et al.<br> This striving for perfection is very evident in his portrait drawings where he searches with his brush for just the right line for the sitter's profile. The critical faculty in making this choice and his perception of its potency in communicating decisively the sitter's character is a true measure of Holbein's supreme greatness as a portrait painter. Nobody has ever surpassed the revealing profile and stance in his portraits: through their telling use Holbein still conveys across the centuries the character and likeness of his sitters with unrivalled mastery. see J. Rowlands Hans Holbein the Younger 1985 Published by John Chamberlaine, the Keeper of the King's Drawings and Medals. Printed by William Bulmer and Co., Shakespeare Pri hardcover
