Die Planetentheorie: its uses and meanings for the Saxon mining communities and the culture of the Dresden Court 1553–1719
This paper seeks to demonstrate, albeit in brief outline, how different strands of knowledge and belief about the planets and their relationship to material matters here on earth, were upheld or rejected in early modern humanist texts. Evidence can be found in sixteenth-century printed books which propound alchemical theories about the influence of the seven planets on the earthbound metals, and those which refute such ideas. In the metal-rich region of Saxony the Dresden court ceremonials appropriated these beliefs, and applied them in a rich iconographical tradition that represented the planets in relation to the mines and metallurgical workshops that brought wealth to the state. The tradition was upheld in the calendar of court ceremonies and festivals that took place in Dresden between 1574 and 1719. These were ephemeral events, in which the appropriation of planetary symbolism, largely for ideological purposes, was recorded in visual and verbal descriptive forms.
