Heraldica Collegii Cardinalium, Volume 1

Edition of the coats-of-arms of the College of Cardinals. Although the College of Cardinals is the most prestigious and venerable body at the heart of the Catholic Church, no consolidated work on its members had appeared in well over 150 years. This volume finally presents an authoritative roll of the college and of the coats-of arms used by the members of the College, and will therefore be warmly welcomed. Includes 8 pages of colour illustrations, with hundreds of line drawings throughout. MICHAEL MCCARTHY was a recognised expert in the field of ecclesiastical heraldry.
