the sceptre and orb, and of the charge in the shield of arms
of Bohemia, as well as its transposition to the dex. side of the

due rather to the error of the designer, than to an intentional
departure from the treatment of the subject.

2. a lion rampant, for Hapsburg. Outside the tlirone, from
the projecting parts of the canopy on each side, a wavy scroll
or liston, that on the dex. being inscribed with the initial
letters, forming a sequence of the five vowels, viz.

These letters have been by some interpreted as signifying : —

Others however explain them to stand for : —

each side depends a shield of arms : dex., five eaglets, two,

an ape-like animal sejant, who is resting the shield on the
back of a lion guardant contoiiriu', the tail betw. the legs.

CarINTHIA, supported from below by a lion sejant guardant

The apparent reason for thus recording the natal day of
the emperor-king is, that, according to some writers, his birth
has been attributed, in error, to the 23 December, whereas the
date, sanctioned in this way by its inscription on the great
seal, is St. Matthew's day, viz. 21 September.

It is difficult to account for the appension of an impression
of this seal to a document belonging to Exeter, co. Devon,
dated A.D. 1254, except it be due to some artifice on the part
of those having access to the document. The cathedral
church of Frankfort is dedicated to St. Bartholomew, who
appears, in this seal, to be the Patron Saint of the Provost,
and to be bringing him under notice of the Virgin Mary.

The art of the design exhibited in this bulla indicates an
important change from the archaic and somewhat crude
Byzantine feeling of the preceding types. The very earliest
nascent Italian art is manifested both in the shape and pro-
portional parts of the capital letters and in the treatment of
the portraiture of the Saints, and the whole type marks an
epoch in the series of Papal BuUce.

The last figure of the numeral has the appearance of having
been added at a time subsequent to the making of the matrix
over the stop, which would naturally be set at the end, and
thus affecting the symmetry of the group of lettering.
The error of omission is remarkable ; the matrix cannot be
an adaptation from one used by Clement VI., whose early
date, A.D. 1 342-1 352, precludes the possibility of his having
used such a bulla.
R. Very finely designed busts of St. Paul and St. Peter,
draped, set e?i mi'daillon, in profile to the left, each preserving
the conventional characteristics in the treatment of the hair
and beard shown on preceding bitllce, each with a nimbus, and
bearing the customary emblems attributed to him. Below is
the inscription : • S • PA : • S • PE :
• GLORIOSI • PRINCIPES • TERRAE.
The workmanship of this 7'ev. resembles the work of the
celebrated Italian goldsmith and engraver, Benvenuto Cellini,
and has been attributed to him.
As King Henry VIII. in 1521 enjoyed this title oi Fidei
defensor conferred on him by Leo X., the Golden Bulla from
which this cast is taken must be attributed to another event.

qui a €\.& signal^ par M. de Wailly, dans ses '<Iildments de Paldographie'
(torn, ii., p. 46). C'est le sceau d'un seigneur Navarrais nomme Badigo
Diaz de los Canberos. La charte k laquelle il est appcndu est sans
date, mais elle est dvidemment comprise entre les anndes 1223 et 1226,
puisqu'elle s'adresse "k un Louis, roi de France, k sa fenime Blanche et h.
leur tils, ce qui ne pent designer que Louis VII 1. Cette pi&ce est fort
importante au point de vue des rapports de la France avec I'Espagne.
Le seigneur navarrais y atteste qu'il a entendu Alfonse VIII, roi de
Castille, dire, ^ son lit de mort, que, si son tils Henri mourait sans
posterity, toute la Castille devait revenir de droit au fils du roi de France ;
que d'autres seigneurs avaient, comme lui, entendu cette declaration, et
qu'ils dtaient prets ^ le soutenir les armes k le main ; qu'en consequence,
il prie le roi de France d'envoyer son fils en hate pour recueillir cette
riche succession. Sur le repli de la charte est appendu, sur des fils de
sole rouge et des fils de soie bleue, un sceau rond, en argent, de 60 mm.
de diametre. On y voit, ^ la face, un cavalier armd d'un casque h. nasal
et d'une cotte de mailles, que se tient comme debout sur ses tftriers, I'epde
haute, et la bride de son cheval dans la main gauche. L'homme et le
cheval sont du dessin le plus barbarc. La Idgende, qui commence par le
has, porte seulement : Sigi/luiii Bobdigo Diaz, mais elle se complete au

Oval : representations of the Seven Sleepers, or Septem
Dormientes, whose feast is celebrated on 27th July. The
group consists of two at the upper part, with inscriptions near
them : —
(l.) [C]6STANTIN5 {Constantinits).
(2.) MA • SIMIANVS {Maximiantts).
Below these : —
(3.) lOH'S {Johannes).
(4.) MALC . . {Malchus).
In base three : —
(5.) MARTINIANVS {Martinianus).
(6.) DA NeSP [Dionysius).
(7.) SATRAPIO . . . {Serapion).
Each of the figures wears a nimbus, and appears to be
accompanied with a sword, lance, or other weapon, probably
indicative of the manner of his martyrdom. The body of
Malchus appears to have been dismembered with a saw. Cf.
Sloane MS. 2885, fol. 41, where the names are given : — Maxi-
MiANUs, Malchus, Martinianus, Dionysius, Johannes,
Serapion, and Const A'STn^vs,primipa/atii. Alban Butler's
list of names agrees with these, and the author describes
(Vol. vii., p. 359) a matrix closely resembling this cast,
probably that from which it is derived, preserved in the Musreum
Victorium at Rome : " a factitious plaster or stone (made of
sulphur melted with fire and mortar) formed in imitation of a

Constantine and John are exhibited two clubs : near Maxi-

near Serapion a burning torch ; and near Danesius (whom
others call Dionysius), a great nail. That large nails were
