| ARTHUR’S MISCELLANY: Aspects of King Arthur from Shields of Power to the Questing Beast: a collection of Helmut’s essays and ideas told with insight and humour. Helmut was the curator of Arms & Armour at the NY Met. His essays were written over a period of more than 30 years, some never published before now. Chapters include: ‘The Arms of Lancelot du Lac’; ‘Why Was the Green Knight Green?’;and ‘Merlin, Magic, and Swords of Power’. As well as being an historian, Helmut Nickel was also a famous illustrator. Few historians would be confident enough to interpret the symbology of the mid-15th century armorial, Les Noms, Armes, et Blazons des Chevalliers et Compaignons de la Table Ronde ‒ all 175 of them! Many of the illustrations within the book are by the author. John edited this collection and is still working on getting Helmut’s own Arthurian Armorial into print. 200 paintings were completed by the an artist as the Society of Heralds, and we are still working with a publisher to bring this great text to print. Both these titles will be an important contribution to the Arthurian canon ‒ and a tribute to a great scholar and artist from his friends and fellow researchers |
