Reading edition
See Maillet, op. cit., ch. ii; Frédéricq in Revue historique, p. 310. This edict was drawn up five days before the coronation ceremony by the Curia and sent to receive the imperial signature, so that it might be published in the Emperor’s name in St. Peter’s. For Frederick’s promise to assist the Pope against heresy, see Frédéricq, Corpus, vol. i, p. 70, No. 70.
