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.
Argent, a brown wolf passant proper and on a chief azure, a label argent, die Wölff gennant Metternach (190).
Argent, a brown wolf rampant proper debruised by a bend azure, Passaw (220).
Or, a brown fox salient proper, die Fuchsen (62).
Or, a brown fox salient trussing a goose proper, von Brantstein (159).
