This is an ongoing project to create an exhaustive ordinary of Johann Siebmacher's Wappenbuch from 1605. I am working from the digitization of it available here. If you find any error, please let me know. As a work in progress, it will be updated as I have time.
All blazons are my own. Note that in some cases, shields with a helmet facing sinister have had their arms reversed as well (e.g., a bend is displayed as a bend sinister, the tinctures of the field reversed, etc. So if you think you've found an error, double check the helm on top!) Each blazon is identified with the name of the owner as it appears in Siebmacher, with these conventions: I have transcribed vocalic v as u, and expanded ē, Gē:, and V̄ to en, genannt, and Von, respectively. The number in parentheses is the plate number on which the arms occur.
Per fess argent and lozengy bendwise argent and azure, a demi-lion Or crowned gules, Amberg (220).
Per fess azure and argent, a demi-lion Or and two chevronels azure, von Lütig (127).
Per fess azure and per chevron throughout Or and azure, a demi-lion issuant from the line of division and a mullet of six points Or, die Althamer (39).
Per fess embattled azure and argent masoned sable, a demi-lion crowned Or, Erlang (225).
Per fess sable and Or, a demi-lion and a demi-wheel inverted counterchanged, die Manlich (214).
