De Rebus Britannicis Collectanea is a seminal work for the study of early modern Britain. Authored primarily by John Leland (1506-1552), with substantial contributions by Thomas Hearne, this collection offers invaluable insights into the historical landscape of the British Isles during the Renaissance. Leland, an antiquary commissioned by Henry VIII, traveled extensively throughout England and Wales, documenting historical sites, manuscripts, and oral traditions. This appendix supplements the core work, providing additional source material and commentary that enriches our understanding of Leland's research and the broader context of British history.
Students and researchers interested in the Tudor period, the history of antiquarianism, and the development of historical scholarship will find "De Rebus Britannicis Collectanea" to be an indispensable resource. It stands as a testament to the enduring importance of primary source material in shaping our understanding of the past.
