KAPITEL I. DER GROSSE SAAL.
Three hundred and forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago to-day, the Parisians awoke to the sound of all the bells in the triple circuit of the city, the university, and the town ringing a full peal.
Vor dreihundertachtundvierzig Jahren, sechs Monaten und neunzehn Tagen erwachten die Pariser heute beim Klang aller Glocken im dreifachen Umkreis der Stadt, der Universität und des Stadtgebiets, die in vollem Geläut erklangen.
The sixth of January, 1482, is not, however, a day of which history has preserved the memory.
Der sechste Januar 1482 ist jedoch kein Tag, dessen Erinnerung die Geschichte bewahrt hat.
There was nothing notable in the event which thus set the bells and the _bourgeois_ of Paris in a ferment from early morning.
Es war nichts Bemerkenswertes an dem Ereignis, das die Glocken und die _Bourgeois_ von Paris von früh morgens an in Aufruhr versetzt hatte.
Neither was it the arrival, so frequent in the fifteenth century, of some plumed and bedizened embassy.
Es war auch nicht die Ankunft einer mit Federn geschmückten und aufgeputzten Gesandtschaft, wie sie im fünfzehnten Jahrhundert so häufig vorkam.
It was barely two days since the last cavalcade of that nature, that of the Flemish ambassadors charged with concluding the marriage between the dauphin and Marguerite of Flanders, had made its entry into Paris, to the great annoyance of M.
Es war kaum zwei Tage her, seit der letzte Aufzug dieser Art, jener der flämischen Botschafter, die mit dem Abschluss der Ehe zwischen dem Dauphin und Margarete von Flandern beauftragt waren, unter großem Verdruss von M. seinen Einzug in Paris gehalten hatte.
