What reading level is Seals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
3. Local Seals, containing those of municipal corporations and officials; trade gilds and com- panies; universities and their colleges; and schools.
4. Finally, there would be a large division of Personal or Private Seals, containing those of all individuals in their private, as opposed to their official, capacity. This section would include seals of barons, knights, esquires, ladies, and ordinary folk, whether the design consisted of equestrian or other figures, of heraldry or of miscellaneous... devices.
Most of the published catalogues of seals, such as those of the British Museum, of Douet D'Arcq, and of Demav, are arranged more or less on the 32 SEALS lines suggested, varying only as to whether their authors lean more to the typological or to the classiflcatory system. It need hardly be added that an alphabetical arrangement under the classes is obvious, except where a chronological one, as in the case of Sovereigns or bishops, can be introduced.
To deal now with the devices. These are of a very varied character, consisting of figures, repre- sentations of buildings, such as churches and castles, of scenes from the lives or martyrdoms of saints and other religious subjects, of ships, of quaint beasts such as delighted the medieval mind, of crosses, of flowers, and, most important and general of all, of heraldry, heraldry also being commonly used in combination with other devices.
