| Abstract | The canon of gestures by a ruler, as well as those offered to a ruler, was quite understood by the contemporary beholder. To us, they are sometimes enigmatic: what are the Three Magi doing with their gifts; what is the meaning of a glove presented to a ruler; and what is the intention of a ruler sitting on horseback? These questions are central to the four papers offered here. |
