Abstract

The article examines John Leland's *Antiphilarchia*, a dialogue addressing the royal supremacy of Henry VIII, and its connection to Albert Pighius's *Hierarchiae ecclesiasticae assertio*. Leland's annotations in a copy of Pighius's work, preserved at Worcester Cathedral Library, reveal his critical engagement with Pighius's arguments against Henry's break from the Church of Rome. The marginalia not only highlight Leland's reading methods but also underscore Pighius's significance in the polemical literature of the 1530s. Ultimately, the findings illustrate how Leland's work emerged from his interactions with contemporary theological debates and the broader context of Tudor politics. [Extracted from the article]
