Heraldry and Faith: Ancient Origins of Armorial Bearings and Their Links to Freemasonry - Daryl Lamar Andrews - Bog

Heraldry & Faith is a magnificent work that provides great insight into the foundations of the art and history of heraldic representations. Heraldry is as ancient as the days. It is the system by which coats of arms and other armorial bearings are created and regulated. Lineage and faith are key factors in the creation of unique bearings. Many modern heraldic emblems, especially those in Freemasonry, have evolved from the ancient empires and maintain similar meanings to their ancient predecessors. The monuments which still survive to this date bear witness to this effect.
