A comprehensive catalogue of and guide to three centuries of seals
from London and its environs. Seals were not just a functional
device; they were used as tools of authentication, validation, and
security - and provided a means for both individuals and corporate
identites to represent themselves. The seals gathered here, inthis
lavishly-illustrated guide and catalogue (the first substantial
volume to be devoted to the seals of a medieval urban community),
are representative of those that survive from London from the
period c.1050 - c.1300; they aredrawn from some of the most
important and significant collections, including the National
Archives, the London Metropolitan Archives, and the archives of
Saint Bartholomew's Hospital. Colour images of the seals themselves
are accompanied by detailed descriptions, while an extensive index
serves as an invaluable tool for the navigation of the complex
personal nomenclature of the period. Dr John McEwan is a
post-doctoral researcher at the Centerfor Digital Humanities at
Saint Louis University, Missouri.
