Arms of English Nobility (spine title). Manuscript in English, circa. 1605, written in a secretarial hand in black ink, recto and verso, on laid paper. ILLUMINATED (hand drawn and coloured) with nearly 400 small and 25 full-page coats of arms in ink, colours and gold. 76 leaves; incomplete at beginning. Tall folio, 19th-century half calf, worn, front joint restored; one full-page leaf is mutilated, 2 other leaves with repaired holes, blank upper margin of last leaf restored. Scattered 18th century annotation tastefully done. This can only be described as a treasure, a rare gem seen of this quality once in a very long while. It contains armorials of English nobles from the 13th to the early 17th century, with large Scottish royal coats of arms at the end. It is a time capsule that takes you back through the centuries to gaze upon generations of nobility, exquisitely hand-crafted and captioned in the finest calligraphic hand. Could your ancestry be represented here…? I can spend hours just wondering about the those contained within. 400 years old and stunning throughout. Find your treasure here.
