Medél, R.; 1846

Ramon Medél, «The Spanish Blazon or Heraldic Science, Coats of Arms of the Different Kingdoms into which Spain has been divided, and of the Noble Families thereof», work adorned with 40 lithographed plates, printer J. Guerrero, Conde del Asalto Street 73, Barcelona, 1846.


The author's name «Ramon Medél» is written as the author himself writes it and not «Ramón Medel» as it is written in other bibliographies.

  • The book first deals with the use of armories and the origin of the blazon, the shape of the coat of arms, the metals, colors, and linings, the partitions of the field and the honorable charges.
  • Ramon Medél continues writing about the figures and other heraldic terms, organizing them as a dictionary almost until the end of the book, interspersing within this dictionary chapters dedicated to specific topics. For example, within the letter «C», he intersperses chapters on crowns, the crest, the mantling, the collars of orders, the «vanderas», the supporters and the supporters, the motto, the «pavilion», all the above including examples of specific blazons, the arms of Spain, covering all these topics within the letter «C» from page 84, after the term «cordado», to page 167, which begins with the term «corriendo», this makes it a bit difficult to use this book as a dictionary, unless the reader uses bookmarks. Likewise, within the letter «O», he includes a long chapter dedicated to the military orders and the crosses of distinction.
  • After finishing the previous dictionary, in the final part of the book's text, he deals with the rules and the particular «exceptions» of blazon, the differences in armories, and the order in blazoning the coats of arms.
  • From page 281, until the end of the book, it includes lithographs in both black and white and color, starting with a small royal coat of arms of Spain, ending with the coat of arms of Guillermo Ignacio Cifré de Colonia, and going through theoretical explanatory illustrations of partitions, charges, etc., civil coats of arms, family coats of arms, and even imaginary coats of arms such as the arms of El Cid Campeador or those of the Suevi kings.

Pinterest, heraldry and coats of arms

Pinterest, board of heraldry and coats of arms

I introduce my heraldic style and coats of arms in pinterest.com/blasones with the following description: «My style as a heraldic artist is clear, simbolic and methodic. Clear because my work searches pieces which transmit energy and vital force to the owner, I think that a coat of arms should be a source of light and joy and an expression of freedom. Symbolic because coats of arms must be a representation of its bearer, his/her ideals, motivations, history and anything he/she might want to display. Methodical because heraldic art is founded on a science, the so called science of heraldry».

The blazons in English are in the following Pinterest's board: pinterest.com/blasones/heraldry-coats-of-arms.

Dr. Antonio Salmeron, artistic style

Dr. A. Salmerón, an heraldic style clear, simbolic and methodical

Five college degrees from four different universities and a long experience serving patrons from different cultures and traditions is the base of my heraldic practice. My wide range of knowledge and broad praxis are factors of my exuberant creativity. With a blend of strict adherence to tradition whilst hand drawing and an artistic combination of digital imaging procedures, I astoundingly «brings symbols to life».

My artistic style combines hand and digital process and could be drawn with 3 terms: clear, symbolic and methodical.

Clear because his creations transmit energy and vital force to the owner, he believe that a coat of arms should be a source of light and joy and an expression of freedom.

Symbolic because a coat of arms must be a representation of its bearer, his/her ideals, goals, motivations or history.

Finally, my heraldic creation methodology is founded on the science of heraldry and is a guarantee of a professional work.
