The present volume of studies-a joint publication with the National
Szechenyi Library, Budapest-is the first Subsidium of the Central
European Medieval Text series, accompanying CEMT vol. IX on the
Illuminated Chronicle, composed in the fourteenth century at the
royal court of Louis I of Hungary. The large size of the volume,
with the text and its annotations, did not permit the inclusion of
a detailed scholarly introduction, unlike other CEMT items, so it
is here printed separately. The first essays analyze the text and
the illuminations of the Illuminated Chronicle (formerly called the
Vienna Chronicle) from literary-historical, art historical and
heraldic perspectives. They also summarize the literature on the
chronicle for the past two hundred years. Additional studies
address the narrative. Since the chronicle starts with the history
of the Huns, the imaginary ancestors of the Hungarians, one essay
addresses the Attila tradition in Hungarian historiography. Others
devote attention to the dynastic struggles of the eleventh century,
placing them in the context of amicitia and deditio, and to the
image of St. Ladislas I as the "ideal king". The final essays
examine the fate of the fourteenth-century chronicle texts over the
subsequent centuries, their appearance in legal texts, and their
reception abroad.
