E. makes no note of this. An account of the coronation ceremonies of King Augustus III and the funeral of the remains of John III Sobieski and Augustus II at Wawel Cathedral, held from January 11 to 21, 1733, in Kraków, including the monarch’s ceremonial entry into the city. The text includes, among other things, information on the construction of the triumphal gates, the soldiers’ guard of honor, the decorated horses, carriages, cannon salutes, the theft of swords draped in black from the funeral chapel, and the procession carrying the remains of the deceased rulers from St. Florian’s Church to Wawel. The edges of the page are reinforced; there are minor creases; the condition is very good.
