Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Rolls of Arms of the Latter Part of the Thirteenth Century: Together With an Index of Names and an Alphabetical Ordinary of the Coats; Edited for the Society of Antiquaries
From the diversities in the spelling and in the language of the blason in the Harleian copy it seems evident that either the transcriber, or some one whom he followed, did not pretend to copy literatim, but only to make a copy that should be substantially correct. Not only tinctures but even heraldic expressions are sometimes in their English form.
