Based on the content analysis of the Latin panegyrics Deplua Charitatum Aurora composed by Sebastian Glavinić, the Bishop of Sejn-Modruć, on the wedding of the Emperor Leopold I. and Margarita Theresa of Spain in 1666, this study aims to reconstruct the world of thoughts of its author and to demostrate how he reacted in his piece of work on the wedding ceremony itself. Inspired by the theoretical concept of symbolical communication, the author of the study tries to reconstruct the images of the Emperor Leopold I. and Margarita Theresa of Spain in the symbolical language of the above mentioned panegyrics. By using a wide range of metaphorical expressions and allegories its author celebrated the marriage and both the newly-wed people. Glavnićʼs allegories and metaphors are inspired by the biblical tradition and by the Ancient heritage of the Greek and Roman mythology which the poet had set in the current political and cultural contexts of his time.

This study is a contribution to the history of Early Modern Age diplomacy and focuses on one specific mission of a nobleman in the service of the Emperor at the end of the 17th century. The nobleman concerned was Johann Marcus Count von Clary und Aldringen, who represented Leopold I in Saxony in the years 1686–1694. This diplomatic mission was chosen intentionally as it represents diplomatic legations, which were centred on the Holy Roman Empire, and have until now been under-researched. The author summarises fundamental facts about this mission – Clary-Aldringen’s itinerary is closely analysed and provides evidence of the very special nature of this legation, which was rather dissimilar to diplomatic travels as we know them from contemporary documents. In this case the envoy did not reside permanently in Saxony. Despite that he managed to remain in this post for a relatively long period of time and the author tries to account for the reasons. He analyses various tasks which the envoy had to carry out abroad (the provision of military assistance or the running of a diplomatic chancery); he also deals with the phenomenon of legation secretaries and describes the atypical relationship of the Count towards the Prince-elector’s family. Finally, he provides evidence that this mission contributed significantly to the rise of the House of Clary-Aldringen in contemporary aristocratic society.

The study attempts to uncover individual allegorical components of their individual image and partly also the collective identity of the Habsburgs with the help of emblematic manuals and interpretive dictionaries of symbols using more than a dozen preserved occasional poems compiled on the occasion of Leopold I’s marriage to Margaret Theresa in 1666. In terms of genre, this occasional poetry was mainly a diverse range of printed and manuscript epithalamia, celebratory poems (encomia or laudatia), sonnets, odes, poetic genealogies and emblems. In conceiving them, the authors of the panegyric works sought inspiration in the biblical tradition and, above all, in the ancient heritage of Greek and Roman myths, which they ingeniously placed in the current cultural and political contexts.
