Remember, words like “pig” and “horse” have other translations depending on the country, language, time frame you are searching within. Especially try the Latin or Greek translations.
RESOURCES:
An Tir’s College of Scribes has an amazing website with many instructions, resources, and videos. There are pictures of examples on both Charters and the Gallery. As well as, links to galleries of other kingdoms and museum collections under the Resource Sites tab.
The Booke of Traceable Heraldic Art has all you need on what medieval animals, positions, and more.
There are a couple handbook items that apply to Baronial scribal work as well: An Tir’s handbook on Charter Design and Charter & Scroll Design in KoAT.
Searching images, digitized manuscripts from museums, and line art, are your friends.
We are excited to see what you come up with!
