The Use of the Rebus on Medieval Seals and Monuments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 April 2011
Abstract
The rebus played a distinctive role in medieval seal design as well as on monuments, in architectural ornament, and on the glazing quarries or other subsidiary details of windows. Seals are the largest group and they provide a valuable source of dated material, because they can usually be identified with the user. In this they can be joined to a lesser extent by examples found on monumental brasses or, more rarely, on tombs. Accordingly the present study has been based on a survey of published English medieval seals, with comparanda from the examples found on monumental brasses and tombs.
