About This Book

The author assembles transcriptions and paper rubbings of inscriptions found on monuments, tombs, churches, and fortifications, supplying readings, paleographic remarks, heraldic observations, and brief historical commentary that corrects or supplements earlier reports. Examples taken from sacristies, castle towers, and doorways illustrate problems of legibility, reuse of stone, and the loss of inscriptions through decay, while the text advocates systematic collection and preservation and offers a first, fragmentary corpus to encourage further scholarly and local documentation.
