The exterior signs of delegated judicial authority in pre-codification continental Europe manifested themselves in a rather consistent appearance because they reflected a common idea of a delegation of judicial authority, which was to be accompanied by the visual transfer of materialised symbols. Insignia formed the identity of the judge and served as a reminder of the presence of a political institution of a transpersonal character: the judicial authority was hence represented through the display of the insignia. In the first part of the monograph the Rod of Justice, the sword of Justice, the Judge‘s chair, his robes and the book that figure prominently in the medieval illuminations and Early-Modern depictions, are presented together with rich illustrations. The second part offers a historical micro-study on the Judge‘s sword, the sword‘s sheath and the Judge‘s mace, commissioned by the town judge of Ptuj in 1555. It includes a detailed description of these objects, information about their structure andmanufacture, a more precise typological and chronological determination. Finally yet importantly, the monograph presents the most telling illuminations from Justinian‘s Institutions as well as The Criminal Code of Bamberg (Bambergische Halßgerichtsordnung), which are the oldest books with legal content preserved in the Central Judicial Library of Supreme Court of SloveniaTEXTknjigebooksSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of Slovenia
