WHAT DO WE MEAN BY: |
| |
|
| a |
Pen Stroke: a coat
of arms in black and white pen strokes, according to the antique method

who gave origin to this technique used and recognised throughout the
world “to read colours without colours…”. |
| |
|
| b |
Blazoning: a detailed
description of the arm with the enamels, symbols and heraldic figures. |
| |

| c |

white. |

ordered in a number of copies by the same Customer, in the same order
or within the following 6 months; it costs less than 50% unless otherwise
indicated. It is approximately relative to the printed or copyist
reproduction. It is printed exclusively in colour or b/w, like the
original. |

Search, Study and Creation,
Reproduction of Coats of arms of any nature (code 017 and following): |
| |
h1 |
search: search
in Historic, Heraldic, Nobiliary, Chivalry archives, etc., of
the Institute. If nothing is found, only 50% of the search cost
is owed. Exceptions are made for those cases where the coats
of arms come from the applicant, depending on the type of service.
The coats of arms can be searched for in Public Archives, for
example, state archives; the service is described at code 006
(and can be matched to option 012). |
h2 |
study and creation
of coats of arms: this is used when the requisites at
the previous article are not satisfied. |
h3 |
reproduction of coat
of arms: printed or copyist reproduction, stroke or coloured;
the two previous points are never included, but accompany the
one or the other.
|
|
| |
|
| |
Referable to code 015: |
| |
|
| i |
Predicate: to indicate
the feud that a noble title rests on, born by a person or a family,
and the predicate is due by right to the entire lineage. Not all the
noble titles have a predicate, as titles without predicate exist that
are supported only by the surname; |
| |
|
| j |
Qualifications: these
are expressions of honour linked to the enjoyment of a noble title;
such as Don and Donna, added to a Christian name, Noble man and Noble
Woman, the latter being maintained by Venetian Nobles; |
| |
|
| k |
Honourable treatments:
similar to qualifications: including Royal Highness, Serene Highness,
Excellency, Highest, Supreme Excellency; |
| |
|
| l |
Concession: this means
when a Sovereign, motu proprio or against a proposal, creates a noble
new title, predicate, qualification, treatment or coat of arms; it
constitutes the original way of acquiring ex novo distinctions; |
| |
|
| m |
Renewal: A deed whereby
a Sovereign revives a title or predicate that had previously existed,
but had been extinguished due to lack of heirs; this is not the ex
novo creation of the title or predicate, rather their revival by the
Sovereign in other persons who previously were unable to inherit; |
| |
|
| n |
Recognition: the deed
whereby the Sovereign grants amnesty for any lacking or failure that
has been found in proof of antique concessions or the passage of noble
titles, predicates or coats of arms; |
| |
|
| o |
Assent: the deed whereby
a Sovereign grants his approval to any special measures established
by specific dispositions, when a title has been legitimately passed
through the female line to another family, where there are no more
male descendents, and request is made for the title to be returned
to the male line of the family it originally belonged to; |
| |
|
| p |
Coat of arms: this
is usually a noble distinction and is also known as a blazon or noble
arms, and each noble title has a coat of arms miniated which may be
used by those having right to the title; |
| |
|
| q |
Refute: This means
the transfer or alienation to others of native, granted, recognised,
renewed titles or titles that a person has inherited, outside the
direct succession line; to obtain refute, approval is required of
all the intermediate heirs to the title, i.e. those who would have
inherited it through a deed of concession. |
