A 1718 heraldry instruction book by Claude-François Menestrier, printed in Lyon by Jacques Lions, written as questions and answers to teach blazon in an easy method. Its pictures are rows of shield-shaped coats of arms with partition lines, charges, and tinctures shown in engraved hatching, with names printed beneath each shield, useful to a designer looking for ordered heraldic shield layouts and charge motifs.
