This book is the first modern investigation into the creation of devices, a form of heraldic art involving the use of pictorial or emblematic symbols alongside words.

The book delves deeply into the detailed rules and components of devices, examining the meaning behind the visual symbols, the significance of the words, how they should interact with each other, and the appropriate uses and functions of devices throughout the ages. The insights in this book enhance our understanding of this unique art form and its profound historical and cultural impact on nobility, warfare, politics, and the arts.
