About this book
Coronation Rites is a book by Reginald Maxwell Woolley. The text says the king is set apart from those over whom he rules and, as mediator between God and his people, is found invested as it were with a halo of quasi-divinity. The text says that the Old Testament has a number of instances of the consecration of a king by anointing with oil, a rite parallel to the consecration of a priest or prophet.
The text says the first actual reference to the consecration of a king occurs in the Tel-el-Amarna correspondence. A chapter headed THE RITE OF MILAN says that the Emperor was crowned as king of Italy in that city. Another part says the later forms of the queen's coronation have changed considerably, and that in the Pontifical of 1520 the king presents his consort to be crowned.
