Since then not only have crucial historical works been published—most notably the five-volume biography by Hermann Wiesflecker—but the in last few years in particular numerous art historical studies have also appeared on the imperial commissions, the artists in Max imilian’s circle, and his virtually modern propagandistic use of the medium of woodcut. There is scarcely anywhere more predestined to mount an exhibition on Maximilian I than the Albertina, with its rich and important holdings particularly in early sixteenth-century German art. After a series of monographic presentations of the Albertina’s central holdings over the past ten years, including those devoted to Albrecht Dürer ( ), Rembrandt ( ), Peter Paul Ru- bens ( ), Rudolf von Alt ( ), Egon Schiele ( ), and Gustav Klimt ( ), the Alberti- na’s exhibition dedicated to a historical figure might seem to enter uncharted territory; but in fact many of the most important works created for imperial propaganda and memoria can be found in our collections. It is also a striking peculiarity of history that it was not Maximilian I, the world’s most powerful monarch at the time, but rather one of the artists in his employ whose name came to stand for an entire epoch: the Age of Dürer. In this exhibition the Albertina presents numer- ous works by Albrecht Dürer together with other exceptional imperial commissions from its own collection, complemented by exclusive loans from international museums. Mathias F. Müller—who had extensively studied one of the emperor’s greatest commis- sions, the Triumphal Procession miniatures—was the first to seriously consider an exhibition on Maximilian I. The more immediate motivation for this exhibition was one of the most com- prehensive conservation projects ever undertaken by the Albertina: the conservation treatment, between and , of the Triumphal Procession of Maximilian I by Albrecht Altdorfer and his workshop, among the greatest treasures of the Albertina’s holdings. The frieze of images, origi- nally over a hundred meters long, with representations of the most important persons and events in the emperor’s life, has not been exhibited since and is thus known only to scholars. Its meticulous conservation now complete, the Triumphal Procession forms the focus of our show and, thanks to a special exhibition architecture, can be shown for the first time ever as a conti nuous pictorial frieze. As the work approaches the th anniversary of its execution in – , it is a special pleasure for us to be able to exhibit this important commission by Emperor Maximilian once again after such a long time. Because of the work’s fragility executed with pen in gouache on parchment, they can be displayed only very seldom. The exhibition offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to rediscover this outstanding artwork. An exhibition of this ambition is only possible through the collaboration of numerous col- leagues and the generous cooperation of other museums and collections. I would thus like to express my gratitude first to our lenders, who have entrusted their precious works to us for the duration of the exhibition. In addition to prominent key works these also include new discoveries, presented for the first time in the context of Maximilian’s art. 14 Nor could a project of this magnitude be realized without the financial support of our generous patrons and sponsors. My particular gratitude is owed to the partners of the Albertina, SIGNA Holding and SUPERFUND , the exhibition’s sponsor Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG as well as all the private sponsors who have made possible such a lavish presentation of the Triumphal Procession . My warmest gratitude goes to the curators Maria Luise Sternath and Eva Michel for the conception and coordination of both the exhibition and the catalog. Thomas Schauerte of the Museen der Stadt Nürnberg and director of the Dürer Haus, a renowned expert on Maximilian I and Albrecht Dürer, provided advice in developing the exhibition’s concept and in selecting the works. It is also my pleasure to thank all the catalog authors, in particular for the essays by Man- fred Hollegger, Eva Michel, Friedrich Polleroß, Thomas Schauerte, Andrea Scheichl, Manfred Schreiner, Larry Silver, Werner Telesko, and Elisabeth Thobois. The editing, translations, and production of the catalog were expertly carried out by Prestel Verlag. My special thanks go to Gabriele Ebbecke, Sophie Reinhardt, Brigitte

  • Quincentenary of István Werbőczy's Tripartitum
    MAGYAR POSTA INFORMATION: Tel: (+36 1) 76 77 329 E-mail: [email protected] /2014 ORDER: 20 Tel: (+36 1) 76 77 174 Fax: (+36 1) 28 81 522 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.posta.hu QUINCENTENARY OF ISTVÁN WERBŐCZY’S TRIPARTITUM Magyar Posta is marking the quincentenary of the Tripartitum by issuing a commemorative miniature sheet containing four stamps. The compilation of the three-part book of the Kingdom of Hungary’s customary law was commenced in 1504 by István Werbőczy, who was later elevated from lord chief justice to palatine, and was completed in 1514. The stamps show the cover page of the translation of the Tripartitum, published in Debrecen in 1565. The stamp was designed by the graphic artist György Kara and produced by the ANY Security Printing Company. The new issue will be available at large post offices and Filaposta in Hungary from 4 July, but may also be purchased from Magyar Posta’s online store. In the 15th century feudal fragmentation and attempts to centralise appeared in the field of the law-making. The sources of the law used in charters were unclear and different legal rules were applied in different cities. Following German, Czech and Polish precedents, the need for a unified code of laws became apparent in Hungary as well. Lord Chief Justice István Werbőczy was appointed to complete this task by Vladislaus II of Hungary. The diet of 1514 approved the Tripartitum, which also received the king’s assent, but the magnates on the royal council did not want the lesser nobility to be involved in government and for this reason obstructed its promulgation and introduction.

In the centuries that followed, to scholars and to poets, to reforming churchmen and monks, to crusaders and the designers of churches, France was the hub of the universe. La douce France drew people like a magnet even though its kings were, until aboutcomparatively insignificant figures. Then, thanks to the conquests and reforms of King Philip Augustus, France became a dominant force in political and economic terms as well, producing a saint-king, Louis IX, and in Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition IV, a ruler so powerful that he could dictate to popes and emperors. Spanning France's development across four centuries, Capetian France is a definitive book. This second edition has been carefully revised to take account of the very latest work, without losing the original book's popular balance between a compelling narrative and an fascinating examination of the period's main themes. This is the 2nd edition of Capetian France which is an enormous improvement from the 1st edition.

The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus.

  • The History of Books and Libraries in Bohemia
    Digital Editing of Medieval Manuscripts - Intellectual Output 1: Resources for Editing Medieval Texts (Paleography, Codicology, Philology) The history of books and libraries in Bohemia Michal Dragoun (Charles Univeristy in Prague) While books were initially rare in medieval Bohemia, they would come to play an important role in the lives of all social classes by the end of the Middle Ages. The pace of that advancement was not, however, constant. Many factors contributed to spread of books and to their use, some of them pushed the advancement forward significantly, others less significantly. Books were initially a monopoly of the Church and its institutions but gradually, the circle of book users extended to the laity and more and more texts came to be written in vernacular languages. Acknowledging the abundance or research into medieval books and libraries more generally, this overview will comment only on the most significant moments in the book culture of medieval Bohemia. There are two fundamental turning points in the history of Medieval Bohemian book culture – these were the establishment of a university in Prague, and the Hussite Reformation. To provide a brief overview of types of libraries, it is necessary to categorize them and study the development of individual categories. In any case, the Hussite period was the real turning point for a number of them. Sources The sheer abundance of sources provides the basis for a comprehensive overview of Bohemian book culture. The manuscripts themselves are the most significant source. However, the catalogues used to study Bohemian collections tend to be very old. As a result, the records are often incomplete and contextual information is often unavailable.

After the Napoleonic Wars, the congressmen re-established the European balance of power for the stability and peace of the continent. By the help of the Holy Alliance and by the Quadruple Alliance3 the great powers guaranteed the measures accepted in Vienna and the political and the territorial status quo in Europe created by the Congress.4 The European balance of power was one of the principles of the settlement in Vienna represented first of all by Metternich.5 In the opinion of the chancellor of Austria, Central Europe represented the main element of the new settlement because he did not want to restore the Holy Roman Empire and he did not want to create a nation state in Germany or 1 BREUNIG, Charles: The Age of Revolution and Reaction 1789–1850, New York – London 1977, 121.

  • Private Law in Transylvania As Part of the Kingdom of Hungary
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, LEGAL STUDIES, 9, 2 (2020) 225–254 DOI: 10 .47745/AUSLEG .2020 .9 .2 .03 Private Law in Transylvania as Part of the Kingdom of Hungary Mária HOMOKI-NAGY PhD, University Professor University of Szeged (Szeged, Hungary), Faculty of Law and Political Sciences E-mail: homokijuris .u-szeged .hu Abstract. Transylvania was part of the mediaeval Kingdom of Hungary beginning from the founding of this kingdom and until the year 1540, when, due to historic circumstances, it became for a time a separate entity . The development of private law in this historical space was therefore in the beginning in large part convergent with that of Hungary . However, having a multi-ethnic population consisting of Hungarians, Szeklers, Saxons, and Romanians, with the first three nationalities benefitting from different, autonomous forms of administrative organization, a lot is to be said of specific Transylvanian private law. This study presents those elements and sources of private law which characterized legal relationships in Transylvania beginning with the founding of the Kingdom of Hungary and until the separation of this region from Hungary due to Ottoman conquest . We examine the major sources of law, consisting of customary law, statutory law, and acts of royal power . We then present in summarized form the main characteristics and provisions of the law applicable to persons, the family, immovable and movable property but also inheritance. Some specific private law regulations applicable to Szeklers and Saxons are also presented as well as the perspective of Romanian legal literature regarding the private law applicable to Romanians . Keywords: legal history, Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary, feudal property, nobility, serfdom 1.
