Awesome!

Having a print copy is one thing, but having an only copy as well that you
can manipulate for copying and combining charges is something completely
different!

To illustrate my joy and rapture in seeing this find of yours, Hillary: my
own device is Azure crusily or, a hart at gaze within a double-tressure
argent. I'm sure you can appreciate the difficulty in executing such a
blazon in graphic form ;-)

Kudos on a magnificent discovery, and unending thans for passing this along!

Pax et bonum,

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum,
þeodcyninga,         þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas         ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum,         meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas.         Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden,         he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum,         weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc         þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade         hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan.         þæt wæs god cyning!

Beowulf, 1-11
