Heraldic terms & glossaries

SCA Glossary of terms

A Heraldic Primer

Parker's Glossary - James Parker's "A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry" is a late Victorian source on heraldry. It has lots of illustrations of people's arms, but mostly it's a dictionary. If the term is not in Parker's, you can be fairly certain that it's not been used by English-language heralds.

Heraldic Dictionary - A primer to aid in understanding blazons (descriptions) of heraldry. With illustrations of field divisions, animals, and inanimate charges

Blazoning of Creatures - great resource for the correct way to draw animals!

Scottish & Gaelic names

Norse names - The National and University Library of Iceland and Cornell University have started a cooperative project of large scale digitalization of about 380 000 manuscript pages and 145 000 printed pages. The material will consist of the entire range of Icelandic family sagas. It will also include a very large portion of Germanic/Nordic mythology (the Eddas), the history of Norwegian kings, contemporary sagas and tales from the European age of chivalry
