Philipp Jakob Spener's Latin heraldic reference, printed by Zunner at Frankfurt in 1680, cataloguing the arms of European kings, dukes, princes, counts and barons for scholars and genealogists. Copper plates give shields, helms and crests alongside bracketed genealogical tables, dense double-column letterpress, and small engraved vignettes with motto scrolls set in hatched landscapes.
