Abstract (en)

Documents the heraldic concession (1439) by the Byzantine emperor John Paleologus of a blazon of a two-headed eagle (gold on a red field), to the Florentines, on the occasion of the Council of Florence. Discusses the Byzantine iconography of the two-headed eagle and its survival in Russian and Florentine heraldry into the 20th c.
