Until now, there was but a meagre body of source material for the holdings in Vienna. However, a previously unknown inventory of Emperor Leopold I’s armoury at Stallburg Palace in Vienna from 1678 was recently discovered. This considerably expands our knowledge of seventeenth-century Habsburg holdings of parade arms and tournament armour. The paper makes this seminal archival find – transcribed in its entirety and with an introduction – available for further scholary research.
The inventory informs us that in the late seventeenth century the imperial armoury in Vienna still comprised core holdings dating from the second half of the sixteenth century; housed in the attic of Stallburg Palace, they were continually enriched by the edition of further dynastic mementos, tournament armour and war trophies. The inventory also suggests that parts of the armoury of Leopold I were already installed as an ancestral gallery, which eventually was to provide the basis for the “gallery of ancestors and heroes” installed at the imperial Arsenal in Vienna’s Renngasse in the middle of the eighteenth century.
One of the seminal findings on still extant objects listed in this inventory is the attribution of the so-called Laternenschild, a mannerist fencing shield with an oil lamp now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum to Archduke Ernest (1553–1595); the inventory records that in 1571 Ernest brought this shield back from Spain when he returned to Vienna with his brother Rudolf (II) (1552–1612) after the end of their sojourn at the court of King Philip II (1527–1598).

Recent research has now resulted in a significant change in this armour’s attribution – these findings are discussed in this paper.
The armour was made by an anonymous, middle or north German (possibly Saxon) armourer in the early 1540s for the young August during the early reign of his brother and predecessor Moritz as Duke of Saxony.

The text presents a catalogue raisonné of the portait
paintings by the German Renaissance painter Hans Maler
(ca. 1475–1526/29). It is the first catalogue of Maler’s
portraits since the 1960s and only the third since the late
19th century. Maler was born in Swabia, probably in Ulm,
where he was trained as a painter and during his earlier
career produced religious paintings. In 1515/17 he moved
to Tyrol and settled in Schwaz east of Innsbruck, one of
the leading European mining centres of its time. Here,
in Schwaz Maler shifted his artistic focus to portrait
paintings; about 40 portraits from his workshop dating
from ca. 1515 to 1526/29 are known nowadays. Maler
painted local mine owners and officials, south-German
merchants and financiers invested in the Schwaz mining
industry (Fugger) and members of the Habsburg family and
their court. The group of portraits by Hans Maler provides
a unique insight in the political, financial and social
elite of Northern Tyrol in the years about 1520 when the
mining city of Schwaz was a dominating force in Central
European economy and politics.
