[24] The Thomaite triclinium was a part of the imperial palace adjoining St Sophia. [25] It is to be noticed that some of the imperial insignia have changed their names. The διάδημα was once equivalent to the στέμμα; it is now synonymous with the ζώνη. [26] Probably the badge of his office as Deputatus. [27] See Maltzew ‘Die heilige Krönung’ in _Bitt-Dank- und Weihe-Gottesdienste der orthodox-katholischen Kirche des Morgenlandes_ (Berlin 1897) pp. 1-60; E. Metallinos, _Imperial and Royal Coronation_ (London 1902). [28] _Voyage historique d’Abissinie du R. P.

Balthasar Tellez (London 1710), pp. 49 f., 184. The former of these writers has made use of the latter, and so the two authorities are not independent. [29] I am using here the account given by Tellez of two different coronations. [30] _c._ 4 (_P. L._ XCVI. 766). [31] _Reginonis Chron._, s.a. 749. Pertz, _M. G. Hist. Script._, I. 556. [32] Ibid. s. a. 753. Dom Cabrol, _DACL_, ‘Bretagne (grande-),’ col. 1238, thinks that it was from England that the custom of unction passed into France, and that it was imported there by Boniface, himself an Englishman. But this is a very precarious theory in view of the scanty evidence for English coronations during this period. See pp. 58-60. [33] _Regin. Chron._, s.a. 752. (Pertz, _l.c._) [34] See p. 58 f.

The Laudes were not exclusively a feature of the coronation rite, but had a place in any public function of which any great personage was the centre. Laudes in very much the same form as usual here had been used on a previous occasion in honour of Charles as King of the Franks and Roman Patrician. See Dom Leclercq, _DACL_, ‘Charlemagne,’ col. 786. An example of the Laudes will be found on p. 43. [40] Einhard, _Vita Caroli_, c. XXVIII. [41] Poeta Saxo, _de gestis Caroli_.
