Traceable Additions for May

Another two hundred and forty illustrations have been added to the Book of Traceable Heraldic Art during the last six weeks.

I’m not much of artist, relying on others to share their illustrations, so I’m very pleased to welcome Alessandra Sartor as a new contributor, and give thanks to the continuing efforts of Iago ab Adam, Jessimond of Emerickeskepe, Saewynn aet Cnolle, Forveleth Dunde, Elionora inghean Ui Cheallaigh, Malys mac Néill, Zubeydah al-Badawiyyah, and Estelle de la Mer.

Other images are drawn from period sources; appearing for the first time in this update are elements from Codice Trivulziano 2168, Armorial Français et Plus Particulièrement Poitevin, and Armas de los Cavalleros de Veneçia, alongside images from previously-mined sources including Jérôme de Bara’s Le Blason Des Armoiries and the various manuscripts of the Arlberg Brotherhood of St. Christopher.
