	Rafal T. Prinke - Hermetic Heraldry
		HERMETIC HERALDRY which includes (a) the influence of early hermetic ideas on the developement of the heraldic system of coat-of-arms symbolism and (b) the conscious use of hermetic symbols and emblems in later heraldic designs in order to show the owner's interests or make the arms "speak".
		European heraldry, as we know it, is the creation of the chivalric society of the early 12th century and therefore it is obvious that if any hermetic symbolism can be discerned in it, it must have preceded heraldry itself and not the other way round.
		The double headed eagle divided vertically ("per pale" in heraldic language) and with each half of a different colour is also present in De alchimia (16th c.) attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas as well as in some earlier alchemical treatises.

	Jewish Heraldry
		Indeed, it is a striking counter-example to the misconception that heraldry was ever the preserve of the nobility or the knights, that Jews have been using coats of arms as far back as the 14th century, not only privately but also in their official dealings with Gentiles (e.g., seals on legal documents).

		Eagles displayed are found from earliest heraldry, and birds of the eagle/falcon/hawk family in the close posture date at least from the reign of Edward II (who died 1327).
		Because only eagles among birds are attested as displayed in period, any other bird in a displayed posture will be compared to any bird in a displayed posture usuing the visual test of rule X.4.e for non-period charges.
		While this is unattested in period heraldry, it is consistent with the types of extrapolation which SCA heraldry routinely makes.

		Ecclesiastical heraldry simply progressed coevally and upon the same lines as heraldry in general.
		With the common seal of a community came the idea of an impersonal coat of arms for that community, but as there is no definite date at which such common seals became armorial so there is no common origin from which the devices were drawn.
		A large number of ecclesiastical, as of other public, coats of arms, are based upon the figures and effigies of patron saints originally used and represented as such and without heraldic intention.
