"Scottish Armorials from earliest times to the
start of the eighteenth century, or Aspilogia Scoticana”, to give the
book its full title, is a survey of all known Scottish armorials. It describes
the rolls of arms and discusses the relationship of the rolls to the events of
the day and to the various incumbents in the Lyon Office. There are 40 pages of
colour illustrations, showing examples of most of the famous rolls especially of
the sixteenth century.
The book is
published, in A4 format for the benefit of the illustrations, with a generous
grant from the St Andrews Fund for Scots Heraldry.
Published by
the Heraldry Society of Scotland, 112 pages (40 colour plates)
. It
is a perfect companion to the Society’s Dublin Armorial. |
