Chasseneuz, Barthélemy de, approximately 1480-1541 · 1546 · Lugduni impressum : Per Georgium Regnault · 42 pictures

Catalogvs gloriae mundi is a 1546 Latin treatise on noble rank, precedence and social order by the French jurist Barthélemy de Chasseneuz, printed at Lyon by Georges Regnault for lawyers and scholars. Its pictures are plain black-line heraldic shields, some with horizontal bars, a chevron-like wedge, or a row of tabs, set on cream paper with faint text showing behind them, which suggests simple outline emblems for a designer to adapt.
