‘Hic incipit bonus tractatus de armis in anglicis’ (f. 103). Illustrated with coloured drawings of shields on ff. 104v–105 and in the margins of ff. 104, 105v–106. Heraldic treatise, known as the ‘Ashmolean Tract’ apparently derived from the Tractatus de armis of Johannes De Bado Aureo (the version in BL Add 34648 has a translator's prologue which attributes the translation to ‘John’, and states that the text was translated from De Picturis Armorum). Wells Rev. 10:3930 [497]. IPMEP 223, where the reference to BodL Laud misc. 733 should be deleted.
Other texts: Wells Rev. 10 lists 9 MSS. For a copy already indexed see IMEP 9 indexing BodL Ashmole 15(A) (= Ashmole Rolls 4) [1]. In IMEP 12 (p. 2), Hanna, indexing a different heraldic text in BodL Eng. misc. d.227 [1], notes another copy in BodL Lat. misc. e.86 and three transcriptions made by Francis Pierrepont Barnard in BodL Eng. misc. c. 152 ff. 622–49 (from the BodL Lat. misc. e.86, BodL Ashmole Rolls 4, and CUL Dd.10.52).
