QUINTII AEMILIANI CIMBRIACI POETAE BIS LAUREATI ENCOMIASTICON AD DOMINUM FRIDERICUM CAESAREM IMPERATOREM ET MAXIMILIANUM REGEM PRINCIPES INVICTISSIMOS

Beschreibung
The poem celebrates Frederick III. It was presumably written between May 1488 and October 1489. For an extensive study, see Schaffenrath 2019.
The present version of the "Encomiasticon" was later expanded by Cimbriaco to form five different "Encomiastica". The poem may therefore be divided into five distinct sections, corresponding to each of the five Encomiastica respectively: vv. 1-192 (Encomiasticon I), vv. 193-287 (Encomiasticon II), vv. 288-479 (Encomiasticon III), vv. 480-581 (Encomiasticon IV), vv. 582-665 (Encomiasticon V).

After mentioning his previous poetic work (vv. 1–3), Cimbriaco summons the Muses in order to get inspiration to celebrate Emperor Frederick III, who has crowned him as a laureate poet (vv. 11–22), and his son Maximilian (vv. 23–33). Since the emperor has realized to be old and in need for help to rule, he nominates Maximilian King of the Romans to get his support against those who threathen the empire (vv. 34–57). In the following part, Cimbriaco describes several historical events: the poet first briefly mentions the enemies in France, Flanders, Hungary, Italy and Spain (vv. 58–72), then more extensively some Turkish raids towards Europe (vv. 73–119). After stating that all of those threats and world-shaking wars are the way God wishes to show Frederick’s value (vv. 120–131), the poet focuses on Maximilian’s election in Frankfurt, where all the most prominent members of the empire met in order to attend the Imperial Diet (vv. 132–192). Before the election, Frederick delivers a speech (vv. 196–226): Maximilian’s coronation is propitiated by a divine prodigy (vv. 227–236). Finally, the noblemen deliver a speech addressing Fredrick’s son (vv. 237–287). Cimbriaco develops a long section, dealing with the Flemish rebellions against Maximilian: the king of the Romans is caught and kept as a prisoner, thus causing Frederick’s concern for his son and Maximilian’s suffering for his friends being killed by the enemies (vv. 288–479). Frederick decides to lead an army against the rebels, who are defeated and ask for the emperor’s forgiveness and mercy (480–581): the section also contains an excursus on Maximilian’s marriage with Mary, daughter of Charles the Bold, Duchess of Burgundy, and heir to the County of Flanders (vv. 498–526). The last section (vv. 582–665) deals with the Emperor’s joy for his son being released safe and sound. In the conclusion, a set of verses celebrates and praises Maximilian.
