| | TABLE OF CONTENTS |
| | Nothing came of Rudolf IPs provisional investiture of Christian II with the duchies during his drunken sojourn at Prague (July); though by the Treaty of Juterbok (March, 1611) the Saxon Elector was nominally admitted to a share in the government. | | | Rudolf, retaining private rights of property, formally resigned the Bohemian Crown to his brother, and undertook to "commend him to the Electors" At their approaching meeting. | | | In May Rudolf at last appeared in person at the Diet; and the conflict seemed likely to declare itself on the question of the admissibility of Protestant Administrators of episcopal sees, of whom not less than seven, headed by Joachim Frederick of Magdeburg, had found their way unsummoned to Ratisbon. |

| | Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | After Matthias's accession as Holy Roman emperor, his policy was dominated by Klesl, who hoped to bring about a compromise between Catholic and Protestant states within the empire in order to strengthen it. | | | His conciliatory policies were opposed by the more intransigent Catholic Hapsburgs, particularly Matthias's brother Archduke Maximilian, who hoped to secure the succession for the inflexible Catholic archduke Ferdinand (later Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II). | | | He formed a close association there with the bishop of Vienna, Melchior Klesl, who later became his chief adviser. |

| | He is particularly associated with the court of Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor, in Prague, to which he carried the sophisticated Florentine Mannerist court style of Giambologna. | | | There is documentary evidence of his presence there in 1581 and 1585; from 1586 until 1588 he worked with Pompeo Leoni in Milan on the high altarpiece for the Escorial; in 1588 there is mention of him as a court sculptor in Turin. | | | However, his first documented independent work is the over life-size bronze group of Mercury and Psyche (1593; Paris, Louvre) produced for Rudolf II, a work that owes much in composition and style to similar two-figure groups by Giambologna. |

Drawing primarily from the gardens of Rudolf II, Hoefnagel decorated the calligraphy manuscript with flora and fauna, both real and fanciful. |

| | The first alethiometer was constructed in Prague during the reign of Rudolf II by a scholar named Pavel Khunrath. | | | He wrote down the first few dozen meanings, but got no further, for in 1612 Emperor Rudolf II died, and the new emperor, Frederick, was a fanatical opponent of this kind of occult philosophy. | | | Prague, under Emperor Rudolf II, was a hotbed of alchemy, and Khunrath himself had made experiments, discovering in the process an alloy of two rare metals that had mysterious quasi-magnetic properties - that is, it responded like the needle of a compass. |
