Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

La joyeuse entrée de Charles VI in Bruxelles (1717)
On October 11 1717, a week before he would be celebrated as Count of Flanders in Ghent, Charles VI had been recognized as Duc de Brabant and Limburg in Bruxelles. The festival book commemorating the event contains etchings representing the main locations where the event took place. Engravers who worked on these representations also worked on the illustrations of the Ghent event. (cfr. Lebeer 1958).
Il festino della felicità (1720)
The London treatise of August 2 1718 assigned Sicily to Charles VI, but only in May 1720 were Spanish troops finally forced to leave the Island. In August, the Duke of Monteleone was finally able to acclaim Charles VI ‘l’austriaco Splendore’, as the king of Sicily.
Le simpatie della città di Messina (1720)
This festival book printed in 1720 in Messina celebrates the coronation of Charles VI as king of Spain and Sicily. The ceremony occurred in the same year the book was printed. The book contains illustrations made by local artists, as well as the lyrics of a Serenata a quattro voci performed in Messina for Charles VI. The lyrics had been put to music by D. Francesco Tozzi, Maestro di Cappella di questa nobile, Fedelissima ed Esemplare Città di Messina. A digitalized version of this festival book is also available.
