Seventeenth Century Blazonry of the Lesser Roman Aristocracy (Documenti Rari E Curiosi Dall'archivio Segreto Vaticano)

The coats of arms come from the Della Valle-Del Bufalo Archives currently housed in the Vatican Secret Archives. The blazonry is accompanied by historical notes and comments on the documentation kept in the extensive family archives.

It also includes a heraldic description of the coats of arms, a useful technical glossary and the transcription of the genealogical notes at the bottom of the watercolours. The book ends with a series of brief information sheets on each family.

Text in Italian and English.
