Crests in the Manesse Codex

This page is part of a larger article.

Above each crest appears the folio number and the modern German version of the heading for the page on which it appears. Clicking on any number should take you to the Heidelberg University Library page for that folio, where you can see the crest in its original context.

Table 1: Matchy-Matchy Crests

This table contains

2 crests that appear, atop helms, as charges on the shields with which they are paired
22 crests that each contain one copy of all the heraldic elements present in its accompanying device, in the same postures, orientations, relative positions, numbers, and tinctures, and
3 crests that are divided into two or three segments, each of which contains all the heraldic elements present in its accompanying device, in the same postures, orientations, relative positions, numbers, and tinctures.
