Talyzin’s coat of arms is a handwritten coat of arms compiled by the Russian heraldmeister who headed the Geroldmeister’s office in 1783-1794, Lukyan Ivanovich Talyzin , for which the coat of arms got its name. It is possible that the example of A.T. Knyazev on the compilation of the handwriting , moved him at the beginning of 1790 to a similar work. In 1797, Heroldia set about creating the Common Stamp of the Noble Clans and she appealed to Emperor Paul I for permission to remove a copy from the State Stamp, which, by the highest will, was the former herald master L.I. Talyzin composed and presented it to the late Empress Catherine II . In response, Paul I “ deigned to deign, without finding the herbarium previously compiled sufficient, to compose a new one in Heroldia ” [1] . As a result, the Talyzin’s Herbovnik was undeservedly forgotten even by the outstanding heraldist V.K. Lukomsky called it " tradition " [2] . First, the coat of arms got into the library of the Winter Palace , and in 1852, as part of the Hermitage collection, it was transferred to the manuscript department of the Imperial Public Library (now the Russian National Library [3] ) and the source went into circulation only at the end of the 20th century.

Herbovnik Talyzina turned out to be the only comprehensive reference book in Russian historiography containing both patrimonial and territorial symbols, the first of which were 447 [4] . Between the meetings of A.T. Knyazev and L.I. Talyzin has a lot in common. In the 18th century, when organizing heraldic space, it was impossible to ignore original emblems, therefore, both official and unapproved emblems are included in the coat of arms. The visual form of the coat of arms (drawing) took precedence over the verbal (description), therefore, in the work, images prevailed over the text. Both of these features were caused by the absence in Russia of an official emblem, without which the border between the approved and original emblems was fuzzy and the description was perceived as something secondary.
However, an innovation appeared in the manuscript of Talyzin - the desire for a scientific understanding of the material. L.I. Talyzin wrote a special section containing an exposition of the author's understanding of the theoretical and historical aspects of heraldry. In fact, he made the first attempt in Russian historiography to give the concept of stamp-value [4] . The author adhered to a nationally oriented position, criticized European terminology, emphasized the unacceptability of Western models for Russia, which, in his opinion, was predetermined by the radical otlions of European chivalry and the Russian nobility. He proposed his own point of view on the history of the formation of Russian heraldry, emphasized its antiquity and pointed to the dominant role of the state in herbalism, and, unlike subsequent generations of specialists, he perceived this influence extremely positively. The author himself wrote: " ... having shown the reasons preventing the publication of the Stampbook according to the rules of foreign countries, I will turn to the outline of the mind of this science in relation to the Russian Empire, having previously explained in what way this part should be if it were proposed on the basis of the ancient situation of Russia " .
In the coat of arms there are color images of tribal emblems: princely - 21; Count - 26; baronsky - 15; noble - 385 [5] , and among the highest granted there are six Life Campanial emblems (Davydov Peter, Zolotogrudov Gavrila, Karpov Timofey, Korobkov Peter, Small Sidor, Sysoev Nikita). State emblems and coats of arms granted are at Talyzin's first place, while the family emblems occupy the last place in importance.
Herbovnik A.I. Talyzina became a transitional monument of heraldic thought, integrating a directory with research elements [6] .
Currently, Herbovnik L.I. Talyzina has not been published and is available only to a narrow circle of specialists.
