[153] _Sacrarum caerimoniarum sive rituum ecclesiasticorum S. Rom.
Ecclesiae Libri tres_ (Venetiis, MDLXXXII). Various details are given
more fully here than in the older accounts. For the Rite as used at the
present day see Grissell, _Sede Vacante_, Parker, 1903.
[154] It is quite possible that the Laudes at the Papal Coronation may
originally have been the development of the ceremonial reception of a new
Bishop, such as obtained in France in early times—see Martène, II. p. 29.
If so, the forms have been assimilated to the Imperial ‘Laudes.’

556.)

[159] _In I Reg. Expos._ iv. 5 (_P. L._ LXXIX. 278).
[160] St Gregory’s expression ‘qui in culmine ponitur’ is somewhat
unusual, and it may be noted that a similar expression is found in Can.
1 of the 12th Council of Toledo (681) ‘etenim sub qua pace vel ordine
serenissimus Ervigius princeps regni conscenderit culmen regnandique per
sacrosanctam unctionem susceperit potestatem,’ etc.
[161] Photius, _Epp._ I. 16.
[162] Brightman considers that the language of Photius is metaphorical
only and gives later instances of the figurative use of such words as
χρίσμα and χρίειν. _Loc. cit._, pp. 384, 385.
[163] Brightman, _Byzantine Imp. Coronation_, in _J. Th. St._ II. pp. 391
f. and _The Coronation Order and the Regal Vestments_, in _The Pilot_,
VI. p. 136.
[164] See the various English orders, most of which are given in L. G.
Wickham Legg, _English Coronation Records_.
[165] See below, p. 187.
[166] Bock, _Die Kleinodien des heil. römischen Reiches deutsch. Nation_.
In the plate of the Emperor Charles V the Dalmatic has been omitted. Also
it is to be doubted whether the Emperor wore the Armill crosswise like a
stole as there represented.
[167] Dewick, _The Coronation Book of Charles V of France_.
[168] de Blancas, _Coronaçiones_.
[169] It is usually held that the Orb is another form of the Sceptre.
In rites in which it is referred to it is generally given without
any accompanying form. It is variously named the Orb, Pome, Apfel or
Reichsapfel.

[171] Eusebius, _Vit. Constant._, IV. xxiv.
[172] Cf. the statement of Aphraates (c. 350) who holds that the unction
of Saul and David imparted the Holy Spirit. (_Demonstr._ VI. 16.)
