It is now categorized by centuries. Clearly, the majority of the digitized armorials date from the 15th century, but hopefully more...

[Update:] The Zürich armorial available online – plus many more additions to our list of digitised armorials

Thanks to the Swiss digitisation project e-codices, one of the most important sources of medieval heraldry is now available in a hitherto unprecedented quality: the Zürcher Wappenrolle (Zürich armorial). Its importance for heraldists and historians alike stems from the fact that this extraordinary armorial is considered to be one of the oldest collections of coats of arms of the medieval Holy Roman Empire. Besides that, it is the only...
