Chasseneuz, Barthélemy de, approximately 1480-1541 · 1579 · Francofurti ad Moenum : Impensis Sigismundi Feyerabendij · 45 pictures

A 1579 Frankfurt legal treatise by the French jurist Barthélemy de Chasseneuz on precedence, nobility and heraldry, printed by Sigismund Feyerabend for lawyers and the educated elite. Its engraved plates show oval medallion scenes of ceremonial processions, and a dense heraldic family tree of coats of arms, useful for designers seeking ornate cartouche frames, armorial motifs and crowded emblematic layouts.
