Beschrijving

Bol The Accedens of Armory (1562), by the London draper Gerard Legh, is a treatise on the rules, design, and interpretation of Elizabethan heraldry. For Legh, heraldry is the visual representation of “gentilnes”, and his book often digresses to explore topics such as the legendary origins of coats of arms and heralds, the heraldic display of women, the history of the Nine Worthies, or the regulation of clothing at the funerals of armigerous men. This edition explores not only the development of the printed text, but also Legh’s life, his sources and literary context, and the influence of the Accedens on heraldic practice.
