Note 003
The coronation of the German emperors at Rome,
more especially in the xith century, is best represented
from the original monuments by Muratori (Antiquitat. Italiae
Medii Aevi, tom. i. dissertat. ii. p. 99, &c.) and Cenni,
(Monument. Domin. Pontif. tom. ii. diss. vi. p. 261,) the
latter of whom I only know from the copious extract of
Schmidt, (Hist. des Allemands tom. iii. p. 255 - 266.)]
