Excerpts

"Seeing that it behooves a Master of Ceremonies to pay heed to individuals, I, John Burchard, Clerk of the Ceremonies in the Chapel of His Holinss our Lord the Pope, will note below the things which happened in my time and appeared to be connected with ceremonies, together with, at least, some external affairs, so that I may more readily give account of the office entrusted to me."
