Latidos Podencos, seal of the animal protection organization

LatidosP 26 Sello jpg

Protectora del podenco español.

I have created the seal of the shelter Latidos Podencos based on its coat of arms.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 79, third paragraph from the beginning] writes that «Encaxadas, or emananchadas», from the French «émanche», and in English sometimes rendered as «emanche» and other times described as «line of», refers to «those partitions of the shield whose pieces fit one into another in the form of thick and elongated triangles, which are usually one-third of the length or width of the shield, depending on the direction in which these figures are placed in a per pale, per fess, per bend, or per bend sinister division, etc. But when it is a chief, they have half the base and the rest pointed; and if it is a fess, it is formed by alternating triangles filling it entirely». This description corresponds to the most general form of the «encajado», although there may be other ways to position it —in this case, in the base— and other types of «encajado» depending on the figures represented, such as those made of fir trees, Latin crosses, or, as in this case, of hearts.

Norsk Heraldisk Forening

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, 2 axes with escutcheon Or at the nombril

Norsk Heraldisk Forening, in English, Nordic Heraldry Society, was founded on February 27, 1969, at the National Archives in Oslo, with the aim of promoting the study and knowledge of heraldry through meetings, lectures, excursions, and other dissemination methods, and additionally, to become an advisory body to resolve issues in matters of heraldry, flags, personal coats of arms, etc. Its first president was Dr. Philos Herman L. Løvenskiold.

Since then, these have remained the objectives of the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and its membership count has remained between 150 and 200 members, and it cooperates with the Nordic Heraldry Society, «Societas Heraldica Scandinavica».

The website's address is Heraldikk.no, its content is available in both Norwegian and English, and they work systematically to expand it and provide greater and better information to both its members and those interested in heraldry.

Blazon

Alex Maxwell Findlater described it in English, including its crest, in an article that was on their previous website under the title «About the society», as follows: «Gules issuant from base two battle-axes addorsed Argent shafted Or overall at the nombril point an escutcheon Or; for Crest between two axes of the arms a panache of three peacock feathers proper; Mantling Gules doubled Or». But given that «shafted» applies to weapons with a shaft and «hafted» to weapons with a handle, in the case of axes, I use «hafted» although both terms correspond to the Spanish «fustado».


Note how the axes are described as battle-axes, just as in the blazon of the Norwegian coat of arms, where its lion holds a battle-axe.

Coat of arms I attempted to interpret in the Norwegian style, all in flat tinctures, without Sable outlines, lighting or shading, and only with a simple rough finish.

Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro. Lema: «Prior tempore potior iure»

Coat of arms of the RIAG interpreted with: a pointed base; the field illuminated in Argent; the chief illuminated in Sable; the motto illuminated in Argent with letters in Sable; the narrow cross illuminated in Gules; the 4 eight-pointed stars illuminated in Azure; the cross and the stars outlined in Sable; the elephant illuminated in Or and outlined of the field; the motto outlined in Sable, written in the same colour and illuminated in Argent; and the whole with a rough finish.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 113] writes «Paté, se dice de las Cruces, cuyos extremos se ensanchan un poco. Viene esta voz de la latina patula, cosa extendida, ó dilatada», and in this way uses the term «Cruz paté», instead of cruz patada, in [Avilés, J.; 1780a; páginas 60, 91, 92, 127 y 297]. In the blazon at escueladeheraldica.es/armorial-riag-pagina-1 the term «crus estrecha paté de gules» is also used, although I have preferred to use in this blazon the equivalent expression «una estrecha patada de gules».

Its Latin motto «Prior tempore potior iure» means that whoever comes first in time has more right than whoever comes after, and naturally refers to the concept of registration, since, in general, the person who registers a coat of arms first has more right to defend its ownership than the person who registers the same coat of arms after the first.

Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain

Emblema de la Real Asociación de Hidalgos de España

The Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain was founded under the name «Asociación de Hidalgos, Infanzones y Noblezas a Fuero de España» by Vicente and Francisco de Cadenas y Vicent, the Marquises of Siete Iglesias and of Zayas, and also by Valentín Dávila Jalón, Marquis of Dávila.

This association brings together nobles of Spanish lineages with the aim of maintaining and promoting the traditional values of the hidalguía and is inspired by the principles of Christian humanism. It fulfills its duty to provide services to Spain, its institutions and its citizens, with loyalty to the Crown and commitment to Spanish culture and history.

Its magazine Hidalgos, also known as «La Gacetilla de Hidalgos de España», or simply «La Gacetilla», as this was its name until the end of 2010, precisely until its issue 524 of October, November and December 2010. This magazine is an excellent source of knowledge and information, and some of its articles are cited throughout Blason.es, for example, those by [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009b], [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2010] and [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2012b].

In saltire arrangements, I prefer to place the element in bend over the element in bend sinister, since the bend takes precedence over the bend sinister. Therefore, in my interpretation of this coat of arms and unlike other interpretations, the two-handed sword placed in bend is drawn above the one placed in bend sinister.

Escudo de plata, un crisol de plata, llameante y sumado a una hoguera de gules y oro. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Lema: «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor» de oro sobre una filacteria de azur.

Interpretation made from the Royal Academy emblem: transforming it into a semicircular-based shield, instead of its oval shape; with its motto on a scroll beneath the base, instead of surrounding it; keeping the closed royal crown in its place; with everything illuminated except the field which is in plain color; and the whole outlined in sable and with a parchment-like finish.

In this interpretation, on the Argent field, the Gules fire of the bonfire completely surrounds the Argent crucible, to avoid the metal Argent on the same.

To write the blazon for this coat of arms I use the heraldic term «llameante». Therefore, I do not follow [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 82 and figure 163] when he writes «...y un Fénix de gules sobre una hoguera encendida de lo mismo.». He uses this example to illustrate the 2 fundamental uses of the term «encendido» which is said when «the Eyes of animals... are of a different color» and «also of a burning Bush and the same for a Torch, when the flame is of a different tincture».

Socioeconomic heraldry

Within socioeconomic heraldry, I classify the arms of all collectives not included in the previous categories, such as, for example, commercial societies, which may represent companies, their brands, and products, sports clubs and federations, associations, professional colleges, educational institutions, arms granted or assumed collectively, etc.

For example, the coats of arms of universities, both private and public, belong to this category, the former naturally and the latter considering their appropriate autonomy from state powers. In this way, the coat of arms of the IESE, as a business school, is an example of socioeconomic heraldry.

Also included are the coats of arms of associations, like the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and of companies, such as the arms of Alea Capital.

This category partially coincides with what [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119] refers to as «representative heraldry».

Azure, in base an open book Argent, in chief a sun in splendour Or.

Escudo de azur, un libro abierto de plata surmontado de un sol de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted with the following features: the base is semicircular (round); the field and charges are illuminated in the tinctures Azure and the metals Argent and Or, all outlined in Sable; unlike other variants the sun’s rays are not black sino de oro y el texto politécnico del libro es legible; y the whole finished with a rough-paper texture.

For my interpretation of this coat of arms, the text I have chosen to write on the pages of the open book is taken from [Cuena Bartolomé, J.; 1968; page 417, section 2, paragraphs 2o, 3o y 4o], which begins with the phrase «Se planteaba», a phrase very characteristic of José Cuena Bartolomé.

He elegido estos paragraphs porque son de José Cuena, 1937-1999, Professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), who was my teacher and PhD supervisor, because in them are combined hydraulics, the use of the computer, mathematical simulation models, economic cost considerations, data in the form of time series, the underground, the oceanic, irrigation,... and, therefore, they combine various branches of engineering and study topics from many of them, such as civil engineering, computer engineering, agricultural engineering,... Additionally, as this text is almost half a century old, it is technically historical, no longer at risk of obsolescence, a risk that more recent texts would indeed have.

It was founded in New Orleans, state of Louisiana, in the year 1972 and, subsequently, was legally structured as a non-profit association in the state of Alabama.

The aim of the «College» is to contribute to the orderly development of the American heraldic tradition, whose origins go back to and are the same as those of the United States of America, and to meet the heraldic needs of its citizens.

The American College of Heraldry is governed by its Board of Directors, which elects both the directors of the «College» and its Advisory Council.

There are different ways of belonging to The American College of Heraldry, from members distinguished by their recognised prestige in the field of heraldry or by their contribution to heraldry from academic institutions to other persons interested in heraldry and, even, young associate members who are minors.

The address of its website is AmericanCollegeOfHeraldry.org, where the blazon of its arms is written as «Sable, a lion rampant, crowned with an ancient coronet, holding in the dexter paw a baton fleury Or, armed and langued Gules».

The Heraldry Society of Scotland

Objectives and activities

The Heraldry Society of Scotland ~ «The Heraldry Society of Scotland», was founded in 1977. Its objectives are to promote the study of heraldry and to encourage its correct use both in Scotland and abroad.

The HSS (acronym for The Heraldry Society of Scotland) encourages those who have a coat of arms and those who intend to adopt their own arms to become members of the society and also encourages to join all those interested in Scottish heraldry, therefore the HSS admits and has members from all over the world.

The HSS holds active and regular meetings throughout the year and organizes conferences and visits to places of historical and heraldic interest, both within Scotland and in other countries.

Online content

They also maintain and update a website, whose domain is Heraldry-Scotland.co.uk, with interesting and abundant reading material, among which their list of online armorials with blazons in English stands out, among which the following armorials can be highlighted:

  • Sir David Lindsay's Armorial from 1542, with 504 coats of arms and identification letters «DL», from «DL001» to «DL504». Includes imaginary coats of arms, for example, that of «DL011» of Hector of Troy which it imagines as «Sable, two lions combatant Or», which [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 7] blazons with a Gules field, this difference would allow tracing the sources of each author, which would be interesting as it is, moreover, imaginary.
  • Hamilton Armorial, from 1560, with 82 coats of arms they say, although only 79 appear, and identification letters «HM», from «HM001» to «HM079», where for example, «HM001» is the arms of Scotland «Or, a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules» and «HM026» is the insignia of Scotland «Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules».
  • Queen Mary's Roll from 1562, with 204 coats of arms and identification letters «QM». from «QM001» to «QM204».
  • Forman's Armorial from 1563, with 258 coats of arms they say, although only 247 appear, and identification letters «FAL», that is, from «FAL001», the arms of Scotland, to «FAL247».
  • Slains Armorial from 1565, with 712 coats of arms they say, although only 638 appear, and identification letters «SL», that is, from «SL001» to «SL638».
  • Armorial of Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, Secundus from 1599, with 285 coats of arms and identification letters «DLS».
  • Seton Armorial from 1599, with 422 coats of arms and identification letters «SN», from «SN001» to «SN422».
  • Dunvegan Armorial estimated to be around 1600, with 282 coats of arms they say, although only 52 appear, and identification letters «DV», only 2 digits and without leading zeros, from «DV1» to «DV52».
  • Kings and Nobilities Arms, 2nd volume from 1638, with 111 coats of arms and identification letters «KNB», from «KNB001», the arms of the King of Scotland, to «KNB111».
  • Nisbet's A System of Heraldry published in 1722, with 2,608 coats of arms, according to my count, and which I reference as [Nisbet, A.; 1722], 1st edition and [Nisbet, A.; 1816], for a later one that I have available. On the same page appears the blazon of Alexander Nisbet himself, in entry 1,926 according to my calculations, as «Argent, three boars' heads erased Sable within a bordure invected Gules», that is, «Argent: three boars' heads erased Sable; a bordure invected Gules» where «invected» ~ «acanalado» as opposed to «engrailed» ~ «angrelado».

I also find very interesting, for example, their pages on the basic principles of heraldic design, written by Doctor Patrick Barden.

Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules. Motto: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules. Motto: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».

Emblema de azur, un San Miguel de plata, vestido y nimbado de oro, teniendo en su diestra una lanza de oro, con la punta hacia abajo y en su siniestra trae [ escudo gules, una cadena puesta en orla, en cruz y en sotuer de oro, cargada en el centro de una esmeralda de sinople, de Navarra ], sostenido por un dragón de sinople, armado, lampasado, fierezado y encendido de gules. Divisa: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».

Emblem interpreted as follows: oval in shape and more rounded than the original; the field illuminated in Azure; its charges illuminated in Gules, Vert, Argent, and Or, and outlined in Sable; the emerald represented by an enameled area Vert; and the whole emblem has a parchment-like finish.

The archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are angels; therefore, I classify this emblem both under the category archangel and under angel, while Saint Michael himself is represented in it as a male figure.

Saint Michael the Archangel, in this representation, bears a shield which, at first, I blazon as the current coat of arms of Navarre, chains of gold, the original arms of Navarre being as blazoned in the armorial [Urfé; 15th century; folio 142]: «Gules, a carbuncle Or pommelly, illuminated Vert in the centre in the manner of an emerald». This description does not suggest the presence of chains, but rather the rays of a carbuncle, nor an actual emerald, since what corresponds to the central umbo from which the rays of the carbuncle emerge is enameled Vert.

Due to my way of painting the arms of Navarre in profile, it stands halfway between a carbuncle and chains, with the outer links round like those of a chain, the central ones long like the rays of a carbuncle, and in the centre I have not drawn an emerald, but an enameled area Vert «in the manner of an emerald».
