Book Description
Perhaps Guillim's draft of the Display, published in 1611. Manuscript starts at about chapter 5 of section II of the printed edition, and follows the same order of subjects, but the text varies, and there are many more arms illustrated; some sentences are identical. Note on last page suggests manuscript is a draft for publication: ". . . these following which I will expresse with as fewe examples as I possibly maye because of the huge charge of cutting." The printed book does have fewer examples of arms. Arms in trick, color very rarely used, notable on leaf 76.

Heraldry, Pageantry and Social Display in Medieval England

Book Description
Discussion of display through a range of artefacts and in a variety of contexts: family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display and do so in a waywhich avoids jargon and overly technical language. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. The media include monumental effigies, brasses, stained glass, rolls of arms, manuscripts, jewels, plate, seals and coins. Contributors: MAURICE KEEN, DAVID CROUCH, PETER COSS, CAROLINE SHENTON, ADRIAN AILES, FRÉDÉRIQUE LACHAUD, MARIAN CAMPBELL, BRIAN and MOIRA GITTOS, NIGEL SAUL, FIONN PILBROW, CAROLINE BARRON and JOHN WATTS.
