fol. 130v, 324. lap

Folio 130V

B

BENEDIC ANIMA MEA DOMINO, ET OMNIA QUAE INTRA ME SUNT NOMINI SANCTO EIUS. PSAL. 102

Pss 102.1: Benedic anima mea Domino et omnia viscera mea nomini sancto eius (102.1: Bless the Lord, O my soul: and let all that is within me bless his holy name).

Just as the illumination of the first page of the constructed alphabet honors God as ruler of the universe, Hoefnagel dedicated the illumination of the second page to the worldly ruler, the emperor, dominating the earthly realm through God's grace and under his aegis. While the biblical verse, which begins with the letter B, praises the celestial Lord, the representation transfers the praise of God to the worldly ruler, Emperor Rudolf II, the illuminator's patron. Occurring at the beginning of the constructed alphabet, this leaf functions as a dedication.

Like the medallion with the tetragram on folio 130, a medallion with the letter R (Rudolf) under the imperial crown occurs at the center of this illumination. In the top margin are symbols of the emperor's sovereignty, the orb and the sword of state; the sword is crossed with a palm frond, a symbol of victory.16 To the left and right of these imperial insignia are the crowned Hungarian and Bohemian coats of arms, representing the royal dignity of Rudolf, king of both Hungary and Bohemia. In each side margin, an eagle, symbol of the emperor, holds in its beak a swag tied to one coat of arms and to Rudolf's medallion. As on folio 130, flashes of lightning and thunderbolts emanating from colorful wings indicate the emperor's mighty sovereignty. Likewise, the pair of incense burners that lure insects to their death symbolizes his capacity to destroy his enemies. The first and second pages of the alphabet were thus intentionally illuminated as reciprocal folios demonstrating that the power of the Holy Roman Emperor was the earthly reflection of the power of God over the universe.
