Abstract

When the imperial coronation garments, the Reichskleinodien, arrived in Nuremberg in 1424, they were celebrated as the relics of Charlemagne. In reality, however, this collection included various Norman and Hohenstaufen Sicilian clothes, including the red mantle of Roger II, the white alb of William II, and the jeweled gloves of Frederick II. While scholars have studied the place of these textiles in Sicily, their afterlives remain unexamined. This study explores the mechanisms of conversion that transformed the Sicilian garments into holy objects in late medieval Nuremberg, focusing on the role of the representations of the clothing in constructing their new identity. The article argues that Nuremberg’s relic sheets and relic books, together with Albrecht Dürer’s fictive portraits of Charlemagne and Sigismund of Luxembourg, worked in coordination with the changing imperial conception, the myth of Charlemagne, and organized public performance to embed in the cultural memory an idea of the garments as Carolingian. Through their play of real and imagined details, the images of the regalia effaced their Mediterranean characteristics and refashioned them as Germanic objects. This review of the Sicilian regalia’s place in Nuremberg illuminates how artifacts are integrated into new settings and the roles they play in the construction of history.

中世纪晚期纽伦堡对西西里王权的接受与拒绝
1424年,当帝国加冕服(Reichskleinodien)抵达纽伦堡时,它们被视为查理曼大帝的遗物而受到庆祝。然而,实际上,这个系列包括各种诺曼和霍亨斯陶芬西西里的衣服,包括罗杰二世的红色斗篷,威廉二世的白色白袍和腓特烈二世的珠宝手套。虽然学者们研究了这些纺织品在西西里岛的位置,但它们的来龙去脉仍未得到证实。本研究探讨了中世纪晚期纽伦堡西西里服装向圣物转变的机制,重点关注服装的表征在构建其新身份中的作用。本文认为,纽伦堡的文物单和文物书,连同阿尔布雷希特·德·勒虚构的查理曼大帝和卢森堡的西吉斯蒙德肖像,与不断变化的帝国观念、查理曼大帝的神话相协调,并组织公共表演,以在文化记忆中嵌入加洛林王朝服装的观念。通过对真实和想象细节的玩弄,这些王权的形象抹去了它们的地中海特征,并将它们重塑为日耳曼物品。对西西里王室在纽伦堡的地位的回顾说明了文物是如何融入新的环境的,以及它们在历史建设中所扮演的角色。
