¶ Bossewell. Moule 23; STC (2nd ed.) 3393; Luborsky & Ingram. Engl. illustrated books, 1536-1603 3393; ESTC S106250 ‘The concordes of armorie is an abridgement of: Legh, Gerard. The accedens of armory. The thirde boke entituled of cotes & crestes has separate foliation and register.’ John Bossewell, (d. 1580), author ‘... remembered today as a heraldist. His book, Workes of Armorie, was published by Totell in 1572, and the inventory of his possessions lists a number of the writings cited in it, for instance those of Alciatus and Froissart. It also records his ownership of 'The olde boke of blazon of Armes', which directly concerns a major topic of Bossewell's book, namely the description of coats of arms in the heralds' traditional Norman-French blazon, which he often illustrates in his text with small attractive woodcuts intended to clarify the technicalities of heraldry. However, although Workes of Armorie draws heavily on the writings of his older contemporary Gerard Legh, whom Bossewell terms 'a very fruteful and worthy writer' (Bossewell) in his dedicatory epistle to Lord Burghley, Bossewell's work never achieved the popularity of Legh's Accedens of Armory, and it was reprinted only once, in 1597. Like Legh's book, Bossewell's treatise has been censured as being of little value 'even from an heraldic point of view'. Thomas Moule, writing early in the nineteenth century, considered the book 'strangely connected with the Ancient Mythology, and the Virtues personified' (Moule, 21), and it is true that Bossewell is as interested in the symbolism of the heraldic charges he discusses as he is in blazon. Yet for all its mixture of history, mythology, and mineral and animal lore (mainly in the bestiary tradition), Bossewell's Workes of Armorie is an interesting essay in linking heraldry with virtue. He draws on numerous Latin texts, as well as French writers, cites such English authors as Lydgate, Gower, Sir Thomas Eliot, and Richard Grafton, and quotes extensively from Chaucer, including the Wife of Bath on gentility. Arcane and full of remarkable, if implausible, information, Bossewell's work is none the less interesting as an example of the sort of learning that delighted Tudor antiquarians ...’ ODNB.
