Académie internationale d'héraldique, AIH, «Vocabulaire-Atlas Héraldique en six Langues: Francais - English - Deutsch - Español - Italiano - Nederlandsch», by Gaston Stalins, Le Baron Stalins, with the collaboration of René Le Juge De Segrais, Ottfried Neubecker, Martin de Riquer y Morera, Giacomo Carlo Bascapé, and Mario Gorino-Causa, 119 pages, 530 black and white heraldic pictures, Société du Grand Armorial de France, 179 Boulevard Haussmann, París, 1952.

---

This book begins with the following sentence: «Heraldique - science et art - qui prit naissance en France vers la moitié du XIIe siècle, s'est propagée très rapidement dans les principaux pays européens».

The number of terms and words of the heraldry by languages is as follows:

• French language: 523 heraldic terms.
• Dutch language: 521 heraldic terms.
• German language: 519 heraldic terms.
• Spanish language: 511 heraldic terms.
• Italian language: 506 heraldic terms.
• English language: 502 heraldic terms.

The names of the authors and collaborators have been checked with [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1999].

Its 530 heraldic illustrations correspond, according to my calculations to 509 drawings, numbered from 1 to 530. Some images contain several numbers, for example, the image that shows a coat of arms with its mantling, number 528, and its supporters, number 529, a griffin and a lion rampant, it is the same illustation, but with 2 numbers.

Pedro Joseph de Aldazaval y Murguía, priest, member of the Real Sociedad Bascongada de los Amigos del País, in the Most Noble and Most Loyal Province of Guipuzcoa, «Compendio heráldico: arte de escudos de armas según el méthodo mas arreglado del blasón, y autores españoles», printed by the Widow of Martín Joseph de Rada, 285 pages, it is structured in 3 books I, II, and III, bound in parchment, with 3 folded plates with engravings of heraldic shields, drawn by the author himself and engraved by Pedro Antonio Sasas, Pamplona, 1773.

---

The copy, of small format (approximately 14 x 10 cm), keeps its original parchment binding, with the title lettered on the spine.

After the title page comes the author's own coat of arms, crested with a helm shown in profile and mantling, per pale for Aldazaval (a bend over a mount) and Murguía (a tree from which hang cauldrons).

Contents of Book One

Book I, «Abridged instruction on the rules of blazon», opens with Chapter One, «On the principles and foundations of arms», and develops in successive chapters the foundations, pieces, partitions and cadency marks of the coat of arms, citing among other authors Balmont.

Book Two: on the exterior ornaments of the shield

Book II deals with the «External ornaments of the coat coat of arms», opening with Chapter I, «On the crest, and its attributes» (""), explaining how the variety of exterior ornaments grew so much that it not only became a distinctive mark of nobility, but also served, through its differences, to make public the dignities and offices of each house.

At the end of Book II the author cites the Spanish heraldic writers he relies on: Fernán Mexía, Estevan de Garibay, Antonio Agustín, Bernabé Moreno de Bargas, Alonso López de Haro, Joseph Pellicer, Joseph de Abilés y Francisco Xavier de Garma.

Book Three: heraldic dictionary

Book III is a «Heraldic dictionary» of heraldic terms arranged alphabetically, in which each entry refers to the book, chapter and number where the corresponding term is treated (Lib. stands for Book, cap. stands for Chapter, and num. stands for Number). Thus, for instance, the mitred abbot is referred to Book 2, Chapter 1, number 5, and Adam is cited as the inventor of blazon in Book 1, Chapter 1, number 3.

The folded plates of partitions and pieces

The copy has 2 of its 3 folded plates with engravings of coats of arms, drawn by the author himself and engraved by Pedro Antonio Sasas. The second-to-last plate numbers from 1 to 55 the shapes of the shield, partitions and heraldic pieces. The last plate, numbered from 56 to 83, continues the previous one with helms, crowns, mantling and the other external ornaments of the coats of arms treated in Book II.

This work exists under two published titles, «A Dictionary of Heraldry» and «A New Dictionary of Heraldry». The physical copy in my possession corresponds to the latter.

The physical copy in my possession originates from the personal library of Anthony Wood, one of the illustrators of the work, as evidenced by his ex libris. His library was offered for sale by R. G. Watkins Books and Prints, Somerset, from which I personally acquired a small, selected group of heraldry and heraldic art books.

This book is a comprehensive dictionary that explains the meanings of many heraldic symbols and discusses aspects of the history of heraldry. Stephen Friar, Director of The Society of Heraldic Arts, compiled this work with contributions from renowned heraldic illustrators. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in heraldry, providing detailed descriptions and illustrations of heraldic terms and symbols.

Author

John Henry Parker (1806-1884), the author of this book among others, was an English archaeologist, publisher, writer on architecture, member of The Most Honourable Order of the Bath (CB), and father of James Parker (1832 or 1833–1912), editor and author of [Parker, J.; 1894; A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry], a renewed edition of this book. Can be read about the relationship between these two books of father and son in [Stock, E.; 1895; The Antiquary, Volume XXXI].

In some places it is written that its author is Henry Gough, but I do not find within this book the author Henry Gough. The error is due to a later print of this book, see [Parker, J.; Gough, H.; 1966].

Parts of this book

• Preface, signed the 30th of November of 1846, pages I and II.

Previous book and review

John Henry Parker, the father of James Parker, was also the editor and author of a previous book [Parker, J. H.; 1847; A Glossary of Terms Used in British heraldry]. James Parker, in the introduction of his book, writes about the innovations, updates and improvements he contemplates, which make it more a new book than a new edition of his father's.

A review and critics of this book can be readed in [Stock, E.; 1895; The Antiquary, Volume XXXI].

In some places it is written the name of Henry Gough as author of this book and, also, his father book, but I do not find within these books the author Henry Gough. The error is due to a later print of this book, see [Parker, J.; Gough, H.; 1966].
