The title page of the Nádasdy Mausoleum
The Nádasdy Mausoleum is a series of full-length portraits of Hun and Hungarian leaders and kings published in Nuremberg in 1664 at the expense of Count Ferenc Nádasdy under the title: Mausoleum potentissimorum ac gloriosissimorum Regni Apostolici Regum et primorum militantis Ungariae Ducum (The Mausoleum of the Most Powerful and Glorious Apostolic Kingdom and the Kings and Military Leaders of Hungary). The depictions of the Hungarian kings are complemented by descriptions in Latin and German.[1][2]
Count Ferenc Nádasdy (1625–1671) was the lord-lieutenant of counties of Vas, Zala and Sopron, and lord chief justice of the Kingdom of Hungary between 1655–1670. He was one of the country's richest and most educated lords, a patron of science and art, his name is associated with the publication of this series of engravings.[2][3]
The chronicle
The engravings are followed by Latin eulogies about the depicted person, followed by a relatively faithful, but in some cases very mannered German translation.[1]
Illustrations
The chronicle including with the title page contains 60 full-page images made with mixed techniques (engraving and etching).[1] The images are listed in the same order as their appearance in the chronicle.
