The library of Eton College contains an illuminated German MS. of about 1540–5, originally in three volumes, now bound as four, of which the contents are largely heraldic. At the beginning of each of the original volumes are the arms of Henry VIII, handsomely, but not correctly, painted on a large scale; the supporters and the shape of the crown are wrong. The principal volume, entitled ‘Antiquitates’, when shown in 1932 in an exhibition of medieval works of art at Eton, caught my attention and suggested a study of its contents, which will be published, in German, in the Münchener Jahrbuch, 1935.
