The emperor Henry II had the famous volume copied for his own use. Henry II was a remote cousin of Otto III but, since Otto died without a heir, Henry was able to secure the throne in 1002. He was crowned emperor in 1014, and died in 1024. His imitation of the Codex Aurous of St. Hemmer was painted not long before 1012 and it still survives in Munich. Folio 33v depicts the Aedicula of The Holy Sepulchre. ## Related artworks - [Aachen Gospels]() - [Aachen Gospels]() - [Ada Gospels]() - [Allegory of the Sacraments]() - [Antoninus Florentinus: Chronicon]() - [Aratea]() - [Astronomical-computist collection]() - [Astronomicum caesareum]() - [Astronomicum caesareum]() - [Bamberg Apocalypse]() - [Bamberg Apocalypse]() - [Bamberg Apocalypse]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
