Indeed, in the specific case of some Ottonian and Salian illuminations, it has been proposed that their function was not only political or to legitimize power, as traditionally suggested (Herrscherbilder), but also liturgical and religious (Memorialbilder). This has led to a complete rethinking of the meaning of this iconographic theme: the divine coronation of the king would not symbolically allude to his earthly power but to the wholly devotional hope of receiving the crown of eternal life in the afterlife. If this academic debate has been concentrated, above all, on Ottonian and Salian royal images, this Special Issue of Arts would like to deal with this topic by stimulating the analysis of royal divine coronation and blessing scenes in religious and liturgical context (mosaics, frescos, or paintings placed in cathedrals or monastic churches and illuminations of liturgical texts) with a wider geographical and temporal setting; that is, the European and Mediterranean kingdoms in the period from the 12th to the 15th centuries. 606 $aHistory of art$2bicssc 606 $aThe Arts$2bicssc 610 $aAbbey of Saint-Denis 610 $aAbbot Suger (1122-1151) 610 $aangelic coronation 610 $aangelology 610 $aangels 610 $aAngelus Domini 610 $aapocalyptic visions 610 $acathedral 610 $aChronici Hungarici compositio saeculi XIV 610 $aconsecration 610 $acoronation 610 $aCrown of Aragon 610 $afestival crowing 610 $aGermanias revolt 610 $aHartvik Legend 610 $aiconography 610 $alaicization 610 $aLuigi Lippomano 610 $aMatthias Corvinus 610 $amedieval kingship 610 $amessianism 610 $aPortuguese kings 610 $apower-religion relationship 610 $aprophetism 610 $aregaliae 610 $arex et sacerdos 610 $aroyal divine coronation 610 $aroyal iconography 610 $aroyal sacrality 610 $asacralization 610 $aSt Ladislaus I of Hungary 610 $aSt Stephen I of Hungary 610 $astatues 610 $atomb sculpture 615 7$aHistory of art 615 7$aThe Arts 700 $aVagnoni$b Mirko$4edt$0749405 702 $aVagnoni$b Mirko$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557112603321 996 $aRoyal Divine Coronation Iconography in the Medieval Euro-Mediterranean Area$93036769 997 $aUNINA
