A 1697 Latin commentary printed at Altdorf near Nuremberg by Johann Christoph Wagenseil, with a related essay by Helius Eobanus Hessus, on the free imperial city of Nuremberg and the Meistersinger guilds of mastersingers. The pictures are small woodcut-style heraldic shields, each divided or charged with a fleur-de-lis, wheel, bat-like wings, or a diagonal band of cogs, drawn in bold hatching and solid black fields that suggest simple emblem designs for a printed coat of arms.
