Autorenporträt

Bernard Juby is a retired doctor who has always had an interest in heraldry. He is an honorary member of the Heraldry Society and was made a life member of the Birmingham and Midland Society of Genealogy and Heraldry, where he was responsible for heraldry for many years. He has written and edited numerous Church heraldic guides, including the late Chris Smith's monumental "The Heraldry of Warwickshire Parish Churches", as well as numerous articles and was the editor of "The Heraldry Gazette" ( the Society's quarterly internal magazine) for five years. For several decades, he has been heraldic advisor to the N.A.D.F.A.S. (National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies), now called The Arts Society. He wrote the National Trust's definitive study, 'The Heraldry of Baddesley Clinton' and spent five years updating 'Ordo Sancti Lazari' - the over 600-page record of the arms of the Knights of the Military and Hospitaler Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem and now printed. His previous book, "The Splendor of the Heraldic Artist" highlighted the different styles of artists who worked primarily with or for the Officers-at-Arms of the College of Arms in London. He is the founder of the "Heraldic Bookplates" Facebook group which, at the time of writing, has over 2,400 members worldwide. After completing his 6th volume, "The Splendor of Heraldic Bookplate Artists", he discovered that he had amassed a large number of bookplates that had been omitted - so he is now writing a 7th! He is married, the father of three children and now retired in France where he has dual nationality. Needless to say, he is deeply involved in the heraldry of the old medieval fortified frontier town of Pouancé, in Haute Anjou, where he lives
