One of the greatest achievements in the manuscript art of the Middle Ages

Created around 1400 in the court workshop of King Wenceslas IV of Bohemia, the “Golden Bull” is – in artistic terms – the most valuable version of the famous Constitution (Reichsgrundgesetz) adopted by Emperor Charles IV in the year 1356.

A particularly sumptuous frontispiece, 48 colourful miniatures on richly gilded grounds depicting scenes of the election of the emperor and of the execution of his Constitution, as well as numerous initials of variable quality, form the decoration of this extraordinary volume.

In addition to its outstanding historical significance – the Constitution remaines in force for more than 500 years until the decline of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 – it is, above all, the excellent quality of its decoration which lends the manuscript of King Wenceslas such prominent stature.
