Trade Paperback. New York: Wordsworth Books, 1996. 647 pp. "The Wordsworth Complete Guide to Heraldry" is a comprehensive reference work written by the preeminent British authority on armorial bearings, Arthur Charles Fox-Davies. This volume is an unabridged republication of Fox-Davies' monumental 1909 work, "A Complete Guide to Heraldry," which remains the definitive "bible" for students of genealogy and medieval history. Fox-Davies meticulously categorizes the evolution of the "science of armory," detailing the strict rules governing the use of tinctures (colors), charges (symbols), and ordinaries (geometric shapes). The text is celebrated for its authoritative tone and its exhaustive exploration of how heraldic achievements—including shields, crests, and supporters—served as a vital visual language for identifying noble families and military leaders on the battlefield and in legal records. A foundational text for heraldic enthusiasts and historians. Dimensions: 20 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
