The Heraldic Imagination _____ by Rodney Dennys _____ During the twelfth century, in the age of crusades and chivalry, the role of the herald emerged. Though a role of varied responsibilities, (among them, ceremonial official and convener of tournaments), the herald is here observed as the interpreter of armory. An abundance of previously unpublished photographs and line drawings illustrates this history of armorial devices. Chimerical creatures, made up of incongruous elements, have peopled the imaginations of men since earliest times. _____ Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., New York, 1976.
