Letters of the Greek

Letters of the Greek, Hebrew, Roman, Text, and other Alphabets are borne in Coat Armour, either singly, or in words, e.g. The Greek Alpha A and 9. Omega form part of the arms of the Regius Professor of Greek at Cambridge ; and the Professor of Hebrew has the Hebrew letter Hhet D. See Upsilon, etc.

" The text ℜ pierced through with adash in the centre in the arms of Battle Abbey."

" Now though i have read letters to be littlehonourable in arms, this cannot be disgraceful, partly because Church-Heraldry moves in a sphere by itself, partly because this was the letter of letters, as the received character to signify Christus." Fuller's Church History, vol. ii. p. 227.
