Hi there: Well the book I have is full of notes with excerpts from diaries or court accounts of the event shown in the illustrations. Christopher Hogwood wrote some introductory notes for this vol, and I believe Philip Pickett uses the chapter on triumphant processions as an source for his recreations of these events during his concerts in London at the Globe Theater.
