		<description><![CDATA[Browsing in my own hard drive I just unearthed Morgan Colman&#8217;s huge 1608 genealogy of King James I and his Queen, Anne. Of all the congratulatory heraldic and genealogical stuff prepared early in James&#8217;s reign, this might be the most impressive piece of genealogical diagrammatic typography. Great pity that a better version of this is [...]]]></description>
