Only 1 sheet of an orig. copper engraving made on 2 plates. Highly decorative engraving, showing
the dignitaries of the Holy Roman Empire entitled to choose German Emperors. The Emperor, in
the middle, has on his right hand 3 ecclesiastical and on his left hand 4 lay dignitaries. The 2nd
rank shows 4 dukes and 4 marquesses, the 3rd rank 8 earls and the 4th rank 4 earls and 4 military
dignitaries, all with their coats-of-arms. This engr. is much like the well known engr. from Ortelius’
“Parergon”, but not quite the same. Here are 4 ranks, on the upper sheet of Ortelius’ engr. are 3
ranks. Although incomplete, very attractive plate.
