Imperial certificates in illustrations

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Example from the print edition: Heinrich III. 1053 August 5 for St. Matthias in Trier; D H.III. 309 b
Figure in the online version

The images of the imperial certificates are a set of tables for academic teaching in diplomacy and an aid for investigations into the history of the office from the time when neither modern copying processes nor digital images were available on the Internet. The editors were Theodor von Sickel and Heinrich von Sybel . The work appeared in eleven deliveries from 1880 and was completed in 1891 with the publication of the text volume. The use of photographs was not without controversy, scholars such as Julius von Pflugk-Harttung still considered tracing to be the best method. 364 document examples document the development of the external appearance of the documents of kings and emperors from the middle of the 8th century ( Pippin the Younger ) to Maximilian I.

The digitalization took place in 2000, the last change to the online offer was in February 2009. In the chronological overview, which is used for navigation - no chronological order was adhered to in the deliveries of the work - links to the online offer of the Regesta Imperii have also been set, with which the Brousseau and Poupeau criticized the lack of updating of the state of research from 1891.
