Does anyone know what is the difference between:
The Inventory of King Henry VIII: Textiles and Dress [Hardcover]
Maria Hayward (Editor), Philip Ward (Editor) (Forthcoming)
and
The Inventory of King Henry VIII: Transcript of the Inventory
(Studies in Medieval and Early Renaissance Art History, 23)
[Hardcover]
D. Starkey (Author, Editor), David Starkey (Editor) (1998)
I believe this inventory was first envisioned as a 2- or 3-volume
series, but only the first volume (the one by David Starkey) ever came
out.
Then it languished in some sort of author/publisher limbo for quite a
while. (Apparently there was more than one problem causing delay and
I've heard several different stories.)
It sounds as though the forthcoming title (Hayward and Ward) may be
the long-awaited second volume; if so, it's supposed to consist of
essays and commentary on the raw material provided by the inventory
records reproduced in the first volume. Very good news if so.
