Format 41 x 27.4 cm. German law firm Bastarda in Braunschwarz with rich awards in fracture and numerous pretty springwork caudills. With 2 full-page coloured representations and 35 large half-page colored coat of arms and a full-sided panels with four colored coats of arms paintings (all in the foliage). Modern half-perchment (spotty, rubbed). Probably Nuremberg at 1519. Beautifully illuminated coat of arms book with the statutes and collegia of the Reichstag. The text, unfinished at the beginning, in very beautiful, artful law firm writing, contains a chronicle outline, followed by a calligraphic fracture caption: "After volgens have been vivaciously far-fetched empire and Kayserthumb on Erdrich. before the Hailig Roman Empire came and what caused it to be changed to the Noble Teutschen. As well as where Kayer and Kunig, Erwelen, Anointings, Weyhen and Crönen are also by whom it is to be done. collects to those who are to be ordained and crowned Curprinces, Princes, Gaestal and worldly, and otherwise, who after that are inevitably restrained and painted with sampt iron wappen." Thereafter, the statutes of the imperial election, coronation and anointing are reproduced, as they were for the first time prominently codified in the Golden Bull in 1356: "Where and how by whom a Roman Kayser and Kunig shall be worldly crowned and crowned." Especially magnificent is the magnificent following double page with the coat of arms of the countries of the Heilililgen Roman Empire and the representation of the Emperor Charles V on his throne between two triumphal columns "PLVS VLTRA" and captured by the mighty black Habsburg double eagle": "Carolus the fifth Roman emperor of the name future to Hispania etc. Ertzdzog zu Osterreich Has been worldly. Anno. 1519." - There follow descriptions of the imperial insignia and indumenta "Von den Kaidungen", "Vor dem purplen Klaid", "Vom der gülin Cron", Von dem Scepter", "From the güldin apple", Von der Schwert", "Von dem Kayserlichen und Kuniglicher Tron", "Aus was verkaufen Kayserliche Mayestat mit drey Cronen krönnt wurdt" etc. Finally, the coats of arms of the imperial princes, first the Elector "Etzbischoff zu Meyntz", "Ezbischoffs zu Trier", " Etzbishoff zu Cöln", "Pfaltzgraff bey Rhein", "Hertzog von Sachssen", "Markgraue zu Brandenburg", " Hertzzog von Behaim", further "Of the four Hertzogen": "Hertzog zu Bayern", "Hertschog von Braunschweigk", " Hertzog von Lützingen" and "Hertzog von Schwaben", then follow the margraves, the castlegraves and finally the most important barons and knights - with which the entire leadership hierarchy of the Holy Roman Empire is depicted. – A cover sheet and the leaves 1, 2 and 7 within the foliage are missing at the beginning, Unbelievably, even more leaves at the end. Several leaves at the beginning and at the end with marginal lissures and older bridge reinforcements as well as small additions or deposits, above slightly circumcised (sometimes slightly above the calligraphic headings), kink marks, tanned (first sheet strong), dusty and flaky, the last leaves also with larger cracks and old deposits, partly with some text loss, Traces of use. - The coat of arms paintings in scientific drawing and impressive color painting.
