§. I.

On the

Splendor of the Arch-Offices at the

Coronation of Emperor Charles VII.

An ornamental initial 'E' is decorated with swirling vine and leaf patterns inside a square frame.
I recently published a commentary on the splendor of the arch-offices at the coronation of the Romano-German Emperor Charles VI. I wish to mention this now so that the general points regarding the electoral arch-offices, the sub-offices, the sanctions of the Aurea Bulla Golden Bull, and the other teachings I reviewed there may be repeated and serve as a preface, since it is my intention to bestow similar effort upon the inaugurations of the succeeding August Emperors and to illustrate a certain portion of our public law.
