EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts an audience with Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV in the year 1365. The emperor, dressed in a magnificent crown and ermine cape, sits before a grand table adorned with intricate designs. He is surrounded by a crowd of men, some of whom present him with boxes of gold and silver, diplomas, and coins. These men, identified as monetari and delatori in the original source, were likely common informers or conspirators, offering their allegiance and support to the emperor. The scene is taken from the Vienna Codex of the Golden Bull, an illuminated manuscript prepared for King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia. The meticulously hand-colored copperplate engraving by Migliavacca, from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical rites and rituals of the time. During the electoral convocation, messengers brought mandates from various electors, brandenburg, wash the emperor's hands in a silver bowl, and offer food as a sign of loyalty and submission. The well-dressed men in the audience, who present coins to the emperor, represent the counts and palatines of the Holy Roman Empire. This illustration offers a unique perspective into the political and social dynamics of the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages, showcasing the intricate rituals and traditions that shaped the electoral process and the relationship between the emperor and his subjects.
