About this work
Description
The building accounts of the Savoy hospital, kept from 1512-1520, offer valuable insights into the construction practices and economic priorities of the age. Built as a showpiece for Tudor magnificence, the now-vanished Savoy was formerly one of the key sights of London. The original manuscript account, kept at Westminster Abbey, helps to recreate its previous glory. It is presented here in the first full transcription, and accompanied by an extensive introduction, notes and glossary. Charlotte A. Stanford teaches in the Department of Comparative Arts and Letters, Brigham Young University.
