A Latin heraldic treatise by Philipp Jakob Spener, printed at Frankfurt by Zunner in 1680, cataloguing the arms of European kings, dukes, princes, counts and barons for jurists, genealogists and court officials. Copper engravings set shields in rows, each with helmet, crest and slashed mantling, keyed by book, chapter and page number; useful for crest silhouettes, quartered field patterns and scrolling mantling ornament.
