Calendar of Letters and State Papers Relating to English Affairs 2 Volume Set: Preserved Principally in the Archives of Simancas

by Martin A. S. Hume (Editor)

Overview

Published in four volumes between 1892 and 1899, this collection contains assorted papers and correspondence between Spain and Spanish dignitaries in England from the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 through to her death in 1603. Revealing the changing relationship between Spain and England, the documents offer detailed insights into Elizabeth's reign from a continental and Catholic perspective. They have been carefully edited and translated into English by Martin Andrew Sharp Hume (1843–1910), a respected historian of Spain and a scrupulous archival researcher. Each volume is arranged chronologically, contains an introduction that provides helpful historical context and closes with an index that includes both letter writers and recipients. Volume 1 (1892) covers the period 1558–67. Volume 2 (1894) covers 1568–79. Volume 3 (1896) contains documents from the period 1580–86, and Volume 4 (1899) covers the final years of Elizabeth's reign up to 1603.
