> The wood and ivory Chair enclosed in Bernini's splendid bronze installation
was very probably among the gifts brought to Rome on the occasion of Charles
the Bald's imperial coronation in 875 and was probably made in Metz.
>Peter Lasko, in his Ars Sacra, gives the following references: "La cattedra
Lignea di S. Pietro in Vaticano," Atti della Pontificia Accademia Romana di
Archeologia, Serie III. Memorie X (Vatican, 1971) and, for a full
bibliography, P.E. Schramm and F. Mutherich, Denkmale der deutschen Konige und
Kaiser. Ein Beitrag zur Herrschergeschichte von Karl dem Grossen bis
Friederich II. 768-1250, 2nd edn (Munich, 1981), p. 475, no. V.
of interest and perhaps a bit more accessible for most :
Kurt Weitzmann, "The Heracles Placques of St. Peter's Cathedra," Art Bulletin,
LV, 1973, pp. 1-37. (JSTOR URL :

Cathedra", The Art Bulletin, LVI, 1974, pp. 248-251. (JSTOR URL :
