Note 57 — Chapter IV · THE WESTERN RITE OF THE CORONATION OF AN EMPEROR AT ROME
Reading edition
There is no mention of the place where the Emperor is anointed, but as he is invested before the altar of St Maurice it seems probable that here too he was anointed by the Bishop of Ostia as in the last recension. Diemand seems not to have noticed where the investitures took place, and assumes that the unction was made before the Confessio of St Peter.
