Stemmario Trivulziano
The Stemmario Trivulziano dates back to the second half of the 15th century, and is attributed to Gian Antonio da Tradate, an artist by trade. This volume, which is conserved in the Biblioteca Trivulziana of Milan, documents approximately 2000 family and community coats of arms of the ancient Duchy of Milan, which at that time had reached the peak of its territorial extension. This prestigious edition is enhanced by the blazons of the well-known Swiss heraldic expert, Carlo Maspoli, who has also penned the
introduction to the coats of arms and the deeds of the Visconti and the Sforza families, dukes of Milan.
The volume, which measures 21 x 30 cm., is printed on glazed matt paper; of the 564 pages, 250 are colour illustrations of the coats of arms.
Bound in blue cloth, the volume is hand sewn; the titles on the spine and the cover are in gold. It is protected by a transparent dust jacket.

Stemmario Fiorentino Orsini De Marzo
This volume (210x297 mm) is composed of over 1000 pages of which 886 are colour plates; it is bound in green cloth and the titles are imprinted in gold.
A concise but comprehensive introduction in Italian and English helps the reader to collocate the Armorial in its correct historical context; special attention is given to the history of heraldic decorative arts and manuscript and bibliographical sources. An index of over 1200 coats of arms is included.
Attributed to Bernardo Benvenuti, prior of Santa Felicita in Florence and an antique dealer of the grand duke of Tuscany, Ferdinando II de' Medici who methodically and competently collated ancient Armorials and prioristi, this important Florentine Armorial numbered among its manuscript sources (many of which have long been lost) a certain Libro Antiquo dell'Arme del 1302, the
year in which Dante was exiled. This in itself is sufficient to render the importance of this codex. Within its pages the reader will find the coats of arms of all the families of Florence and from the surrounding countryside from
whom the priori of the local government were drawn in the period from 1282 and 1531; inked and painted, they number over 1200 and can be consulted here through their alphabetic index.
This Armorial, which is currently conserved in a private collection in Paris, was probably purchased from the Museo privato della Casa Fiorentina Antica created by Elia Volpi in Florence in the historic Davanzati palazzo, the furnishings of which were dispersed at an auction in New York in 1916.
Apart from its significant aesthetic value, this Armorial is important because it documents the source of each coat of arms: in many cases these are gravestones or artistic monuments which have long since disappeared and
faded from living memory, but the documentation in the Armorial makes it possible to assign the coat of arms to its family.
The reader can admire the coat of arms of Dante's maestro, Ser Brunetto Latini, who penned the Livre du Trésor in France, as well as those of other well-known names from the fields of Literature, the Arts, Science and world history,
ranging from Amerigo Vespucci to Cavalcanti and Boccaccio, Machiavelli and Guicciardini, Taddeo Gaddi and Galileo Galilei.
Side by side with the coats of arms of the historic nobility and of lesser known families the reader will find the crests of the various Arts, the government offices and the magistrates, and of the sestieri and quartieri of Florence and their standards.

Stemmario Bolognese Orsini De Marzo
This volume (210x297 mm) is composed of over 500 pages of which 311 are colour plates; it is bound in green cloth and the titles are imprinted in gold.
A concise but comprehensive introduction in Italian and English helps the reader to collocate the Armorial in its correct historical context; special attention is given to the history of heraldic decorative arts and manuscript and bibliographical sources. The introduction is followed by the paleographic transcription of the hand-written notes to the coats of arms of the city families, and by the 1891 index of the reproduced coats of arms.
This 18th-century Armorial - once the property of Ghiselli and then of a branch of the Malvezzi family - is now in a private collection in Paris and is made up of several heraldic manuscripts. It represents a fundamental source of information for the civic and religious history of Bologna.
The main 1891 coats of arms can be attributed to two main artists. They include: 454 coats of arms of the capitani del popolo and podestà (from 1258 to 1532); 188 coats of arms of the legates and pontifical governors (from 1327 to 1747); 32 coats of arms of bishops of Bologna (from 1154 to the
early 18th century); 26 coats of arms of cardinals (18) and popes (8) from Bologna, all listed in chronological order; 97 coats of arms of families from the senatorial nobility(42 extinct and 55 still flourishing at the time of the publication); 862 coats of arms of city families (with very interesting
hand-written information transcribed in the appendix); 15 coats of arms of the colleges.
By other artists are the coats of arms (24) of people who governed the city in different periods, of the 30 Arts and Crafts - of which two versions are reproduced - and of the 45 spiritual companies. Still other two artists executed the coats of arms (34) of the chapters and religious institutions,
and those (37) of the several chivalric orders, respectively. A final manuscript reproduces some fifteen heraldic monuments placed in the cloister of the Dominicans, with the relating coats of arms (19) and inscriptions.
The appendix includes four heraldic plates attributed to Pasquali Alidosi, and one plate by an anonymous artist.
The alphabetical index of all the 1891 coats of arms can be consulted here.

Stemmario Veneziano Orsini De Marzo
Terzo stemmario dell'Edizione Europea delle Fonti per l'Araldica e la Genealogia conservate in Collezioni Private dopo quelli fiorentino (www.stemmariofiorentino.com) e bolognese (www.stemmariobolognese.com), questo importante codice araldico è pure proprietà della Familienstiftung Haus Orsini Dea Paravicini.
Risalente alla metà del Cinquecento, e presumibilmente agli anni del breve dogato di Francesco Venier (1554-1556), ma forse copia da un originale ancor più antico, questo stemmario raffigura circa 900 stemmi di casati veneziani
accompagnati da interessanti notizie storiche manoscritte.
L'opera, curata da Niccolo' Orsini De Marzo, è introdotta da un saggio sull'araldica veneziana, mentre in appendice è riprodotto un altro stemmarietto acquerellato di fine Ottocento che raffigura 792 stemmi di famiglie ascritte al patriziato veneto. Gli indici degli stemmi di entrambi i manoscritti completano quest'opera, che non potrà mancare non solo nella biblioteca dell'appassionato di storia veneziana, ma anche in quella dello storico dell'arte.
