The panoply of men and mounts at arms; the ceremonies of crowned kings; badges and flags of honor; the eloquent coats of arms of noble families; Camelot . We owe much of the color and flash and beauty that all such images bring to mind to a simple fact of war in twelfth~century Europe. In the middle distance a mounted man is galloping toward you, a blur of iron armor, trappings, shield, and hooves. Is he friend or foe? An enemy Lancelot? Or a mere popinjay, a pushover? You'd need to know, and fast. So you came to have at hand a "manager of troops," a herald, expert at reading the insignia emblazoned on all shields, and the trappings of armies. HERALDRY: Sources, Symbols and Meaning is a thorough and richly illustrated history of the system, the art, and the craft that have grown from the honored office of the herald. Each of the book's nine chapters explores one major element of heraldry, bringing a new order and clarity to the intricate, spectacular development of this ancient ~ and now worldwide ~ system of identification. Here you watch the rise and decline of those splendid (if often gory) war games ~ the tournaments. Chivalry becomes so strong and poetic a code that it leaves its marks upon escutcheons ~ and still makes men tip their hats and salute. Symbols of battles won are passed from fathers to sons to duchies to the seals of great nations. A leftward slash, the "bar sinister," gives the word sinister an uglier meaning. The Crusaders carry the white cross to Jerusalem ~ and bring back a multitude of symbols that even today are used to represent various countries. The legs of heraldic lions move to fit the fashions of shields. Varied jeweled crowns rest on successions of uneasy heads. Fabulous beasts grimace; eagles look in both directions; the crests on helmets become an art form in themselves. There is much to learn in this most informative of heraldic reference works, and glorious sights to see. This book contains an extensive and thorough display of heraldic devices and historical illustrations. There are 1,700 illustrations, 1,500 in full color. Many specially commissioned maps, charts, and diagrammatic drawings are used to bring new clarity to subjects that range from the geographic distribution of major signs in the Middle Ages to the intricate, short~lived arms of Austria~Hungary. Museums, incunabula, cathedral crypts, and, monasteries have been searched for graphic and exquisite examples of heraldic symbols, scenes of tourneys and courts, statues, halberds, tabards, furs, etc. ~ all of heraldry's sophisticated paraphernalia and princely milieu. The show is splendid. The final chapter of HERALDRY, on the uses and place of heraldry in modern affairs ~ from corporate symbols and "cachet heraldry" to state seals and cigarette packs ~ has been contributed by Mr. J.P. Brooke~Little, Richmond Herald of Arms, at the College of Arms, London, and author of many works on the subject. Appendices to the book include Early Armorials, an essential listing of all the principal armorials from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries; a bibliography of recommended.
