Vittorio Gifra, Gian Carlo Onida, «Armoriale di Frugarolo e del territorio (con 330 stemmi raffigurati a colori)», 146 pages, Arquata Scrivia, Piedmont, 2020.
The magnificent upcoming book by Vittorio Gifra and Gian Carlo Onida, titled «Armoriale di Frugarolo e del territorio (con 330 stemmi raffigurati a colori)», has been an honor for me to receive in its preliminary version.
The «Armoriale di Frugarolo e del territorio» showcases over 300 meticulously painted coats of arms, challenging the notion that they are exclusive to the nobility. It demonstrates that heraldry is a subjective personal right, applicable to both noble and non-noble families, deepening the understanding of heraldic science and family history.
Focused on Frugarolo and its surroundings, it uncovers the heraldic and genealogical roots of local families. It provides an illustrated guide to their blazons, organized alphabetically by lineages, with annexes such as an introduction to heraldry, local mottos, bibliography, glossary of heraldic terms, and indexes, totaling 146 pages.

António Godinho, «Livro da nobreza e da perfeição das armas dos reis cristãos e nobres linhagens dos reinos e senhorios de Portugal» ~ «Book of Nobility and Perfection of the Arms of Christian Kings and Noble Lineages of the Kingdoms and Lordships of Portugal», 1 book, parchment, 66 pages, 4 coats of arms per page, 43 x 32 centimeters, ca. 1521.
António Godinho was a clerk of the Chamber of King John III, but the codex was started during the time of King Manuel (ca. 13 December 1521). I use the year 1521 only for the purpose of creating the book key.
I think the book contains 263 illuminated coats of arms, including those of the King of Portugal, the King of Castile, the King of Aragon, and others. It was restored and returned to the archive on the 21st of June, 1904.

The first owner of this armorial was Archduke Albert VI of Austria. Hans Ingeram included in each page of his book from 1 to 6 coats of arms, he dedicated the initial part to the Habsburg coats of arms, to imaginary coats of arms and to the coats of arms of European kingdoms, generally using 4 coats of arms per page, and dedicated the final 2/3 of its content to depicting 6 coats of arms per page of the lower German nobility, especially nobles belonging to a special type of «associations» whose purpose was the organization of tournaments. A monograph on this armorial can be consulted in [Becher, C.; Gamber, O.; 1986].

It follows a fixed structure for each entry: the name of the lineage or person, a horizontal line of separation, a explanatory text, a horizontal line of separation, coat of arms with the with of the column and full-color, a horizontal final line. All of this within the columns, only coming out for some exterior decorations, which I especially like.
I have collaborated with the Department of Manuscripts, Incunabula, and Rare Books of the National Library of Spain to correctly attribute the authorship of this 16th century manuscript armorial titled «Nobiliario», signature Mss/3061, to Juan Pérez de Vargas. It has been quite an honor.

St. George's Roll, in English usually written as «MS Vincent, 164 ff.1-21b», also called [Vincent, MS; 1285], it is in the College of Arms, London, containing 677 painted coats of arms, it is an English roll or arms dating from c. 1285.
The bibliographical reference that I mainly use for this armorial is [Vincent, MS; 1285].

Urfé, unknown authors, «Urfe's Armorial», is currently in National Library of France (BnF, Bibliothèque nationale de France), in Paris, «Cabinet des titres» 927 as indicated on page I, cataloged with the code ms. fr. 32753, it is estimated from the XV century.
This armorial is written in French, on parchment measuring 19.5 x 14 centimeters, its compilation is believed to have been done in the 15th century, it presents 2,855 blazons in written form, but without illustrations, its blazons are organized into 54 sections, with an average of 17 blazons per page, the densest pages with about 20 blazons of 1, 2, or 3 lines per blazon, although some are longer. This Urfé armorial has served as a source for later armorials.
This manuscript contains a preliminary index, written later, of 61 pages, foliated the odd pages in consecutive Roman numerals from folio I to folio XXX. That is, 30 folios of 2 pages plus a final page, totaling 30 x 2 + 1 = 61 pages. This preliminary index consists of a name and a page number where the «theoretically», as will be explained below, corresponding blazon appears.
Next comes the true body of the Urfé armorial, of 162 pages, foliated only the odd pages, dated later than the compilation of the manuscript, in Arabic numerals, 2 by 2, from folio 1 to 161. That is, 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 159, 161, and the last existing unnumbered page, as it is the 162nd which is even. I say that the 162nd is the last existing page because the National Library of France classifies it as an incomplete manuscript at the end.
It is a bit difficult to understand the relationship between the numbers that appear in the preliminary index, accompanying the names, and the numbering of the pages of the Urfé armorial. For example:
This rule of subtracting 9, which has worked for me, but may not be of general use as, for example, Castille~Castile, on page VIII of the index, refers to page 140 of the content and it is there where it is actually found.
The Urfé armorial is in the public domain and the National Library of France, since February 23, 2012, has it published online with identification key ark:/12148/btv1b9063217v.
In this online version, as of today and until corrected, I believe that after page XIX, XVIII and XIX are repeated, just as folio 5 is repeated twice.
