Abstract
The festival book was always prominent as a vehicle for the artistic expression of court culture, although the printed festival description itself has become but rarely - and that only recently - the subject of inquiry. The modern subdivision of scholarly study into rigid disciplines has not favoured research in the area of historical culture. In the words of Bonner Mitchell these documents are ‘remarkable expressions of the culture of their times’, 1 and, like the festivals themselves, they merit fürther investigation.
