books

If open, as in the arms of the University of Oxford, the book signifies manifestation. If it is closed, as in those of the University of Cambridge, it signifies counsel. Books are also a general symbol of learning. The bible is frequently mentioned as the book represented in the crest or arms, though it would not appear any differently than a regular book. Books may also have clasps or seals that must be mentioned in the blazon.
