"Daniel Bomberg was a Flemish Christian printer who moved from Antwerp to Venice where he opened one of the world’s earliest printing presses and publishing concerns. From 1519 to 1523 he published complete sets of the Talmud in Hebrew and Aramaic. These are among the first printed Hebrew books and comprise some of the earliest printed books anywhere. […] And so when King Henry the VIII of England was tiring of his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and not succeeding in obtaining an annulment of his marriage to her from the Pope, he adopted a unique strategy. He had heard that Jewish law allows for divorce under certain circumstances. In order to examine this possible precedent that would have solved his marital and dynastic problems, he imported a full Bomberg Talmud.”

I reckon Henry VIII may have been particularly interested in the tractate Yevamot.
