Reading edition
The Royal Academy of Belgium has published (Brussels, 1877-96) the Correspondance du Cardinal de Granvelle in 12 volumes, and in the Collection de documents inêdits sur l’Histoire de France there are the Papiers d’État du Cardinal de Granvelle in 9 vols., edited by C. Weiss (Paris, 1841-52). These volumes reveal the inner history of the revolt in the Netherlands. The documents which refer to the revolt in the Papiers d’État begin with p. 588 of vol. v. They show how, from the very first, Philip II. urged the extirpation of heresy as the most important work to be undertaken by his Government; cf. Papiers d’État, v. 591.
