Only very few of them are dealing with heraldry and heraldic communication in a proper historical approach. ![]() While a query at the International Medieval Bibliography with the keyword “Heraldry” offers you already more than 2000 hits for the period between 1967 – 2013 alone, the vast majority of those papers were published in local or regional publications, as well as in journals and congress proceedings specialised in heraldry. I think everyone dealing with medieval heraldry and heraldic sources is aware of the important mismatch between the number of articles and contributions dealing with medieval heraldry as such and the very poor role coats of arms and heraldic sources have played in the academic historical research so far. ![]()
