520 _a"Thomas Berthelet, Royal Printer and Bookbinder to Henry VIII., King of England" by Cyril Davenport is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the life and contributions of Thomas Berthelet, focusing particularly on his role in the art of bookbinding and printing during the Tudor period. The book explores Berthelet's innovations, the transition from medieval to modern binding techniques, and his significance as a figure of the English Renaissance. The opening of the text introduces Thomas Berthelet's life, setting the historical context by discussing the state of English bookbinding prior to Henry VIII’s reign. It delves into early examples of bookbindings, emphasizing the mediæval practices prevalent in monasteries before the advent of printing, and how Berthelet emerged as a pivotal figure in transforming book production methods. Through the analysis of documentary evidence, including previous regulations and practices surrounding bookbinding in England, Davenport sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Berthelet's work and its lasting impact on the craft.
