A German heraldic manuscript, written mainly in 1598 with further additions written before 1611, containing painted coats of arms with banners. About half the paintings relate to families belonging to the Patriciate of Nuremberg, including the families of Imhoff, Oelhafen, Haller, Muffel and Kress.
The original folios have been cut out and mounted in an album of the 19 cent. The title page (f. 1) reads 'Hernach Volgende herrn und Junckhern haben den Andern Becher machen lassen. Anno Christi 1598'.
