Pedro Joseph de Aldazaval y Murguía, priest, member of the Real Sociedad Bascongada de los Amigos del País, in the Most Noble and Most Loyal Province of Guipuzcoa, «Compendio heráldico: arte de escudos de armas según el méthodo mas arreglado del blasón, y autores españoles», printed by the Widow of Martín Joseph de Rada, 285 pages, it is structured in 3 books I, II, and III, bound in parchment, with 3 folded plates with engravings of heraldic shields, drawn by the author himself and engraved by Pedro Antonio Sasas, Pamplona, 1773.

---

The copy, of small format (approximately 14 x 10 cm), keeps its original parchment binding, with the title lettered on the spine.

After the title page comes the author's own coat of arms, crested with a helm shown in profile and mantling, per pale for Aldazaval (a bend over a mount) and Murguía (a tree from which hang cauldrons).

Contents of Book One

Book I, «Abridged instruction on the rules of blazon», opens with Chapter One, «On the principles and foundations of arms», and develops in successive chapters the foundations, pieces, partitions and cadency marks of the coat of arms, citing among other authors Balmont.

Book Two: on the exterior ornaments of the shield

Book II deals with the «External ornaments of the coat coat of arms», opening with Chapter I, «On the crest, and its attributes» (""), explaining how the variety of exterior ornaments grew so much that it not only became a distinctive mark of nobility, but also served, through its differences, to make public the dignities and offices of each house.

At the end of Book II the author cites the Spanish heraldic writers he relies on: Fernán Mexía, Estevan de Garibay, Antonio Agustín, Bernabé Moreno de Bargas, Alonso López de Haro, Joseph Pellicer, Joseph de Abilés y Francisco Xavier de Garma.

Book Three: heraldic dictionary

Book III is a «Heraldic dictionary» of heraldic terms arranged alphabetically, in which each entry refers to the book, chapter and number where the corresponding term is treated (Lib. stands for Book, cap. stands for Chapter, and num. stands for Number). Thus, for instance, the mitred abbot is referred to Book 2, Chapter 1, number 5, and Adam is cited as the inventor of blazon in Book 1, Chapter 1, number 3.

The folded plates of partitions and pieces

The copy has 2 of its 3 folded plates with engravings of coats of arms, drawn by the author himself and engraved by Pedro Antonio Sasas. The second-to-last plate numbers from 1 to 55 the shapes of the shield, partitions and heraldic pieces. The last plate, numbered from 56 to 83, continues the previous one with helms, crowns, mantling and the other external ornaments of the coats of arms treated in Book II.

Azure chapé Argent, in dexter an Indian ringneck parrot proper, in sinister a Japanese red chrysanthemum proper, in base an atom Argent.

Escudo de azur cortinado de plata: 1^o, una cotorra india de Kramer al natural; 2^o, un crisantemo japonés al natural; 3^o, un átomo de plata.

Coat of arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, and with a watercolor finish.

Coat of arms of Ria Persad, from Trinidad and Tobago (birth), India and Japan (ancestry), and USA (residence). Her coat of arms has been designed by her, by Rudolph Juchter van Bergen Quast of the Netherlands, and by Kevin D. Couling of the United Kingdom, resident in New Zealand, and painted by me, from the Kingdom of Spain.

Design rationale

Mathematician and astrophysicist from Harvard and Princeton Universities, as well as a classical musician, she represents a woman of the world—scientific and with diverse roots, who expresses her identity through a symbolic language of her own creation. Her design and execution are the result of an international team, in service of an equally international woman, and reflect a path of evolution toward which heraldry is advancing. The Kramer parrot (Psittacula krameri, Indian Ringneck) is shown in its natural colour. It is her favourite animal and at the same time evokes her Indian heritage. The red chrysanthemum, painted in a Japanese style, refers to her Japanese ancestry. The atom symbolises her education and professional career in the field of science. Blue, which dominates the whole, is her favourite colour.
