The officers of arms [kings of arms, heralds and pursuivants] have often been overlooked by scholars of late medieval elite society. Yet as officers of the crown, ducal courts or noble families, they played important parts in a number of areas. They were crucial to foreign and domestic relations, and chivalric culture; and, of course, they were to become the powerbrokers of heraldic symbols and genealogy. However, despite the high levels at which they operated, their roles in these areas remain largely unexplored, with scholarship tending to focus on the science of heraldry rather than the heralds themselves. This collection aims to remedy that neglect. The contributions cover a range of European regions [particularly Florence, Scandinavia, Poland, the German Empire, the Burgundian Low Countries, Brittany, Scotland and England] and discuss the diverse roles and experiences of heralds in the late Middle Ages.

Les décors héraldiques et emblématiques qui ornent encore châteaux, abbayes et maisons du Moyen Age et de la période moderne, interpellent souvent l'observateur, qu'il soit amateur, étudiant ou même historien chevronné. A la fois séduits et intrigués par ces signes graphiques aussi esthétiques qu'étranges, les passionnés sont souvent décontenancés par l'apparente complexité de ces compositions, les termes techniques qui servent à les décrire ou encore les multiples interprétations qu'elles génèrent.Quel paradoxe pour des signes précisément créés pour communiquer, faire connaître et comprendre ! L'objectif de ce manuel est de rendre accessibles à tous les innombrables informations que nous livrent les emblèmes du Moyen Age, de faire partager au plus grand nombre les approches renouvelées de ces signes fascinants. Cet ouvrage synthétique, fondé sur des analyses de sources et de cas pratiques appréhendés dans leurs contextes, sans négliger les fondamentaux du blason et une lecture théorique de ces emblèmes, propose une approche dynamique de l'emblématique vécue.Richement illustré, il offre les outils nécessaires pour décrypter non seulement les armoiries, mais aussi les cimiers, cris de guerre et devises

The emblem book was invented by the humanist lawyer Andrea Alciato in 1531. The preponderance of juridical and normative themes, of images of rule and infraction, of obedience and error in the emblem books is critical to their purpose and interest. This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in, obiter depicta, in things seen along the way to judgment. It argues that these books depict norms and abuses in classically derived forms that become the visual standards of governance. Despite the plethora of vivid figures and virtual symbols that define and transmit law, contemporary lawyers are not trained in the critical apprehension of the visible. This book is the first to reconstruct the history of the emblem tradition, evidencing the extent to which a gallery of images of law already exists and structuring how the public realm is displayed, made present and viewed.
