I ran across an interesting article by John Tepper Marlin entitled "What's your blazon?" about the history of the coats of arms of Oxford University and a number of its constituent colleges. Nicely illustrated, it's well worth a look by the heraldry enthusiast, particularly those with an interest in academic heraldry.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your notice of the article. I am giving two talks in London on the heraldry of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges, on April 16 and 17. Anyone interested can contact me at jtmarlin@post.harvard.edu. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy book on "Oxford College Arms" is available on line shortly, via Boissevain Books and IngramSpark. I am talking about it in Oxford at the annual Alumni Reunion on September 15. More information at TheOxbridgePursuivant.blogspot.com.
