Reseña del libro "Arthur's Miscellany: Aspects of King Arthur, From Shields of Power to the Questing Beast (en Inglés)"

It is likely that this Latin quote is based upon a Welsh source, in which the words for "shoulder" (ysqwyd) and "shield" (ysqwyt) were close enough in spelling to get mixed up quite easily.' Arthur's Miscellany is full of such insights, based upon a lifetime study of heraldry and armor. These essays were written over a period of more than 30 years, some never published before now. Chapters include: 'The Arms of Lancelot du Lac'; 'Why Was the Green Knight Green?'; and 'Merlin, Magic, and Swords of Power'. Alongside his career as an historian and museum curator, Helmut Nickel was a famous illustrator. Few historians would be confident enough to interpret the symbology of the mid-15th century armorial, Les Noms, Armes, et Blazons des Chevalliers et Compaignons de la Table Ronde ‒ all 175 of them! Many of the illustrations within are by the author. This is an important contribution to the Arthurian canon ‒ and a tribute to a great scholar and artist from his friends and fellow researchers.
