Oct 12, 2018 at 2:58 comment added LаngLаngС @bmaderbacher Thx. That's really great info. I now wonder how much Stab and Szepter are/were used. The scepter was a term I've known, in principle, but also only symbolically. Is there a linguistic/symbolical distinction, regional variation (Germany/Austria) ?

Oct 12, 2018 at 2:47 comment added bmaderbacher Two more, apparently those things are also known as "Szepter": geschichte.univie.ac.at/de/bilder/… archiv.uni-graz.at/de/geschichte/…

Oct 12, 2018 at 2:27 comment added bmaderbacher By searching for "Inauguration Rektor" I found some Austrian news articles with pictures of a Rektorstab. You might want to edit those in. studium.at/154616-inauguration-der-uni-graz boku.ac.at/news/newsitem/47721 kommunikation.steiermark.at/cms/beitrag/12476371/29767960 kleinezeitung.at/steiermark/graz/5005444/…

Oct 11, 2018 at 20:15 comment added sempaiscuba Official term? No. That would be "Rektorstab". ;-) However, it's probably the translation that leaves least room for confusion. I have seen the term 'Staff-of-Office' applied in the context of the Oxford University Bedels though, which looks to be a pretty close parallel.
Oct 11, 2018 at 19:46 comment added LаngLаngС @sempaiscuba Is that an official term? Googling that leads into some weird territory. Looks as if Stab and staff are now in search results more associated with the personnel than the stick.
Oct 11, 2018 at 19:28 comment added sempaiscuba I suppose that "Rector's Staff-of-Office" may provide the necessary clarity.

Oct 11, 2018 at 16:51 comment added LаngLаngС Also, a reliable transcript of this early modern French around the pages would be nice. A few weird words I either do not recognise or they do not make much sense to me. So the conclusions drawn from the text have to be called preliminary at best.
