- Summary:
- The love letters of King Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn are in the Vatican Archive and were, in the eighteenth century, frequently shown to visiting Englishmen on the Grand Tour. Spence must have made these transcriptions during one of his two stays in Rome, in 1732 and 1741; judging from his notes on the first page, Spence considered publishing the letters and was not aware that they had previously been published in 1714 by Thomas Hearne.
