Einführung Die Wappen der Konstanzer Konzilschronik waren von 2015 bis 2017 Gegenstand einer Reihe von Beiträgen, die Christof Rolker und Tina Raddatz auf Heraldica Nova veröffentlichten. Mit dem vorliegenden Text wird eine neue, dreiteilige Beitragsserie gestartet, die sich auf diese großartigen Aufsätze stützt.

Early Heraldry in the Late Romanesque Wall Paintings of the Church of Artins (France)

Forgotten in the depot of the ‘Kunstsammlungen’ in Coburg Castle for decades, a ‘medieval tapestry’ was rediscovered in 2014. Soon after, it was determined, that the ‘tapestry’ was not in fact a tapestry, but a medieval wall painting that had been removed using the so called ‘strappo’-method.[1] Besides the monumental battle scene, three smaller painted fragments – showing early modern coats of arms – were also found in Coburg...

Heraldic Language in French Narrative of 12th-13th centuries

  In memory of Gerard J. Brault, 1929-2020   Being an MA in linguistics I was invited in 2013 by the group of Heraldry and Genealogy Project of the Institute of World History, Moscow, to conduct research on blazon as a professional language of heraldry.

As some time has passed since the...

[CfP] Heraldic Imagination in the Netherlands, 1500-1800
