The '''Shield of the Trinity''' or '''Scutum Fidei''' is a traditional [[Christianity|Christian]] visual [[Christian symbolism|symbol]] which expresses many aspects of the doctrine of the [[Trinity]], summarizing the first part of the [[Athanasian Creed]] in a compact diagram. In late medieval England and France, this emblem was considered to be the [[Heraldry|heraldic arms]] of God (or of the Trinity).

==Basic description==
This diagram consists of four nodes (generally circular in shape) interconnected by six links.  The three nodes at the edge of the diagram are labelled with the names of the three persons of the Trinity (traditionally the [[Latin|Latin-language]] names, or [[scribal abbreviations]] thereof): [[God the Father|The Father]] ("PATER"), [[Jesus|The Son]] ("FILIUS"), and [[Holy Spirit|The Holy Spirit]] ("SPIRITUS SANCTUS").  The node in the center of the diagram (within the triangle formed by the other three nodes) is labelled [[God]] (Latin "DEUS"), while the three links connecting the center node with the outer nodes are labelled "is" (Latin "EST"), and the three links connecting the outer nodes to each other are labelled "is not" (Latin "NON EST").

[[Image:Scutum-Fidei-Arma-Trinitatis.png|frame|right|Basic "Shield of the Trinity" diagram [[:Image:Shield-Trinity-Scutum-Fidei-basic.png|(Click to see larger version)]] ]]

The links are non-directional &mdash; this is emphasized in one [http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/illmanus/cottmanucoll/d/011cotjuld00007u00003v00.html thirteenth-century manuscript] by writing the link captions "EST" or "NON EST" twice as many times (going in both directions within each link), and is shown in some modern versions of the diagram by superimposing each occurrence of the "is" / "is not" text on a double-headed arrow ↔ (rather than enclosing it within a link). So the following twelve propositions can be read off the diagram:

* "The Father is God"
* "The Son is God"
* "The Holy Spirit is God"
* "God is the Father"
* "God is the Son"
* "God is the Holy Spirit"
* "The Father is not the Son"
* "The Son is not the Father"
* "The Father is not the Holy Spirit"
* "The Holy Spirit is not the Father"
* "The Son is not the Holy Spirit"
* "The Holy Spirit is not the Son"

The Shield of the Trinity is not generally intended to be any kind of schematic diagram of the structure of God, but instead is merely a compact visual device from which the above statements (contained in or implied by the Athanasian Creed) can be read off.

==Brief history==
[[Image:Tetragrammaton-Trinity-diagram-12thC.jpg|200px|thumb|right|[[Petrus Alphonsi|Petrus Alfonsi]]'s early 12th century [[Tetragrammaton]]-Trinity diagram, a probable precursor to the Shield of the Trinity.]]
[[Image:Trinity knight shield.jpg|200px|thumb|right|From [[William Peraldus]]' ''Summa Vitiorum'', ca. 1255-1265. Includes ''e converso'' ("vice versa") in the link captions to clarify that links are bidirectional.]]

The precise origin of this diagram is unknown, but it was evidently influenced by [[12th century|12th-century]] experiments in symbolizing abstract concepts in visual form, such as Petrus Alfonsi's Tetragrammaton-Trinity diagram of ca. 1109 (and possibly also by [[Joachim of Fiore]]'s different Tetragrammaton-Trinity diagram of three circles, which in turn led to the [[Borromean rings]] being used as a symbol of the Trinity [http://www.liv.ac.uk/~spmr02/rings/trinity.html]), in combination with the Athanasian Creed. The Shield of the Trinity diagram is attested from as early as a [[:Image:PetrusPictaviensis CottonFaustinaBVII-folio42v ScutumFidei early13thc.jpg|ca. 1208-1216 manuscript]] of Peter of Poitiers' ''Compendium Historiae in Genealogia Christi'', but the period of its most widespread use was during the [[15th century|15th]] and [[16th century|16th]] centuries, when it is in found in a number of English and French manuscripts and books (such as the [http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/sacredtexts/sherborne.html Sherborne Missal]), and as part of [[#15th or 16th century church decorations|stained-glass windows and ornamental carvings]] in a number of churches (many in [[East Anglia]]). The diagram was used [[heraldry|heraldically]] from the mid-13th century, when a shield-shaped version of the diagram (not actually placed on a shield) was included among the ca. 1250 heraldic shields in [[Matthew Paris|Matthew Paris']] ''Chronica Majora'', while the ca. 1260 allegorical illustrations of a knight battling the [[seven deadly sins]] in a manuscript of William Peraldus' ''Summa Vitiorum'', and of a woman penitent fending off diabolical attacks in the De Quincy Apocalypse, show the diagram placed on a shield. In the 15th century, one form of the Shield of the Trinity was considered to be the coat of arms of God (see discussion below). The use of the diagram declined in England with the rise of Protestantism, and from the 17th century to the early 19th century, it was mainly of interest to historians of heraldry; but beginning in the [[19th century]] it underwent a limited revival as an actively-used Christian symbol among English-speaking Christians, partly due to being included in books such as the ''Handbook of Christian Symbolism'' by W.J. and G.A. Audsley (1865).

==Name==
The only name for this diagram which was in any regular use during the Middle Ages was "Scutum Fidei" (a Latin phrase meaning "Shield of the Faith", taken from the [[Vulgate]] of [[Epistle to the Ephesians|Ephesians]] verse 6:16). For example, in this [http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/onlineex/illmanus/cottmanucoll/d/011cotjuld00007u00003v00.html ca. 1247-1258 manuscript] of [[John of Wallingford]]'s writings, the quote from Ephesians 6:16 is placed directly above the diagram.

The particular phrase "Shield of the Trinity", which is now the most common name for the diagram in English, didn't come into regular use until the 20th century.  However, it is called in Latin ''Scutum Sancte Trinitatis'' or "Shield of the Holy Trinity" (where ''sancte'' is a [[Medieval Latin|medieval]] form for more classical ''sanctae'') on the [[Baptismal font|font]] in Crosthwaite Church, near [[Keswick, Cumbria]], England.  Other variant names are "Arms of the Trinity", "Shield of the Blessed Trinity", "Emblem of the Trinity", "Arms of the Faith", "Emblem of the Holy and Undivided Trinity", etc.

==Variations==
Some variations of the Shield of the Trinity diagram are shown in the image below:

[[Image:Shield-Trinity-Scutum-Fidei-variations.svg|center|thumb|366px|Variants of the "Shield of the Trinity"]]

A shield-shaped version of the diagram placed on a red shield (heraldic "[[gules]]") was [[Attributed arms|attributed]] as the [[Coat of arms|arms]] of God (or of the Trinity) by heralds in 15th-century England and France. The "banner of the Trinity" which [[Jean Le Fevre]], Seigneur of St. Remy, and [[Jehan de Waurin|Jehan de Wavrin]] attest that [[Henry V of England]] displayed at [[Battle of Agincourt|Agincourt]] would have been the same (but with the [[emblem]] on a red flag instead of a red shield). This coat of arms was given the following heraldic [[blazon]] in "On Sacred Heraldry" by E.L. Blackburne (attached as Appendix II to ''Emblems of the Saints, By which they are Distinguished in Works of Art'' by [[F. C. Husenbeth]], edited by Augustus Jessopp, 3rd.ed. 1882):

:''Gules, an orle and [[pall]] [[Argent]], conjoined and surmounted of four plates, occupying the dexter and sinister chief and the base and [[fess]] points respectively; the first inscribed "Pater", the second "Filius", and the third "Spiritus Sanctus", the centre "Deus"; the connecting portions of the orle between them having the words "non est", and those of the pall "est".''

The diagram on a blue shield (heraldic "[[azure]]") was the coat of arms of the Priory of Black Canons (monastery of Christ Church) near [[Aldgate]] in the [[City of London]] (see also the 15th century coat of arms attributed to [[Michael (archangel)|St. Michael the Archangel]] and the modern coat of arms of the Anglican diocese of Trinidad [[#Links to depictions of the Shield of the Trinity diagram|shown below]]). Two of the [[#13th century manuscripts|13th-century manuscripts]] have the diagram on a green shield (heraldic "vert"), which is also found in the coat of arms of [[Trinity, Jersey|Trinity Parish]], Jersey [[#Links to depictions of the Shield of the Trinity diagram|shown below]]. Green is the color of [[Trinity Sunday]] or the Trinity liturgical season in some traditions.

Other variant forms of the diagram have the lettering on nodes and links with a yellow background color (instead of white), since "[[or (heraldry)|or]]" (i.e. gold/yellow) is the other [[Tincture (heraldry)|heraldic "metal" color]].  So the arms attributed to [[St. Faith]] in late medieval England consist of a diagram with lettering on yellow, placed on a red or blue shield, while the parish of the [[Forest, Guernsey]] uses a diagram with lettering on white or yellow nodes and links, placed on a green shield.

In the Middle Ages, the shield-shaped version of the diagram was sometimes imagined as a protective shield wielded by the Archangel Michael, or by an ordinary soul, in the spiritual warfare against dark forces described in [[Epistle to the Ephesians|Ephesians]] chapter 6 (as in the ca. 1260 allegorical illustrations in manuscripts of Peraldus' ''Summa Vitiorum'' and the De Quincy Apocalypse).

A symmetrical rounded form of the diagram with one [[vertex (geometry)|vertex]] up and two down was apparently popularized in the modern period by the Audsleys' ''Handbook of Christian Symbolism''; this rounded form also occurs with one vertex down and two up. The outer node captions can be reduced to simple initials ("P", "F", and "SS"). On the coat of arms of Trinity Parish, Jersey [[#Links to depictions of the Shield of the Trinity diagram|shown below]], all four node captions are reduced to single initials, and in some late medieval English church decorations (such as [http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/Blythburgh.htm the bench end at Holy Trinity church], [[Blythburgh]], [[Suffolk]] and [http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/butley.html the font at St John the Baptist church], [[Butley, Suffolk]]) the four connected circles are intended as a symbol of the Trinity even when all text is omitted.

Obviously, many further slight artistic variations can occur in the relative sizes of nodes and links, their exact placement, in lettering styles, in further decorative elaboration, etc.  Occasionally one or more of the outer nodes is drawn as a non-circular shape to fit within a space allotted.

Also, the diagram can be color-coded in order to bring out the interrelationships between its elements more clearly; in the version included above, the positive or asserting parts of the diagram are shown in black, while the negative or denying parts of the diagram are in red.  This is similar to the version of the Shield of the Trinity present in a 15th-century stained glass window in St. Peter and St. Paul church, Fressingfield, Suffolk, England (where only the positive or asserting parts of the diagram are shown &mdash;  see link [[#15th or 16th century stained-glass windows and carvings in churches|below]]).

Finally, a version of the diagram with translated English-language captions is shown in the illustration above.  (For simplicity, the [[Article (grammar)|definite article]] could also be left out of the English translations of the outer node captions, as in the next illustration below.)  In the Middle Ages, [[Latin]] was the liturgical language and main language of scholarship of Western Europe, so that Latin captions were then most often used (but at least one old rendition of the diagram in another language is attested in the ca. 1260 [[Anglo-Norman language|Anglo-Norman]] French allegorical illustration in the De Quincy Apocalypse).

===Orientation of diagram, and placement of outer node captions===
As the First Person of the Trinity, the Father is always in the most honorable position in the diagram.  So in the form of the diagram with one vertex down, the caption "PATER" or Father is always placed in the top left node (which is [[Blazon|heraldically]] the top right or "dexter chief", when considered from the point of view of someone holding the shield from behind).  And in the form of the diagram with one vertex up, the caption "PATER" or Father is always placed in the topmost node.  The placement of the captions "FILIUS" or Son and "SPIRITUS SANCTUS" or Holy Spirit in the remaining two outer nodes can vary.

In the [[13th-century]] versions of the diagram, the caption "FILIUS" is placed in the bottom node, and often a [[Christian cross|cross]] is drawn in the link between the center node and the bottom node, in order to symbolize the idea that the Second Person of the Trinity entered into the world (or that "The Word was made flesh", as is stated in a Latin annotation on the diagram included in [[Matthew Paris|Matthew Paris']] ''Chronica Majora'' which quotes from the [[Vulgate]] of [[Gospel of John|John]] verse 1:14).  However, when this form of the Shield of the Trinity diagram with one vertex down is used after the 13th century, the Son is much more often placed in the top right node, and the Holy Spirit in the bottom node (as shown in the illustrations above).

The diagram below shows the earliest and most recent major variants of the "Shield of the Trinity" diagram: On the left, the form attested in various manuscripts ca. 1208-1260 A.D., and on the right the form popularized among some English-speaking Protestants in recent years by Paul P. Enns' 1989 book ''The Moody Handbook of Theology'' and H. Wayne House's 1992 book ''Charts of Christian Theology and Doctrine''. Note that in the 13th-century manuscripts, the cross is often drawn as a detailed artistic illumination of Christ on the cross, which is not attempted here.

[[Image:Shield-Trinity-Scutum-Fidei-earliest-and-latest-major-variants.svg|center|thumb|550px|The earliest and most recent major variations of the "Shield of the Trinity" diagram.]]

A few authors of 20th-century books on Christian symbolism (such as Edward N. West in ''Outward Signs: The Language of Christian Symbolism'', 1989) have been of the opinion that the form of the diagram with one vertex down and the captions "PATER" and "FILIUS" in the two top nodes is more appropriate for Western Christianity with its [[filioque clause|Filioque]], while the form of the diagram with one vertex up represents more closely the doctrine of the Trinity in Eastern Christianity (without the [[filioque clause|Filioque]]) &mdash; though this hyper-refined interpretation does not agree with 13th-century usage, nor with the use of versions of the diagram with one vertex up by modern Catholics and Protestants.

==Significance==
The main achievement of the Shield of the Trinity diagram is to transfer a large part of the essential "mystery" or "paradox" of the Christian doctrine of the [[Trinity]] from the realm of complex verbal philosophical abstractions and esoteric theological vocabulary to the realm of simple logic, as presented in the relatively easily graspable form of a concrete and conveniently compact visual diagram.  It is remarkable as a basically-successful attempt, roughly 800 years old, to represent a complex set of abstract concepts in precise graphic form (as opposed to many of the near-contemporary attempts of [[Joachim of Fiore]] and [[Ramon Llull|Raymund Lull]], which were not so successful).  Thus it is probably one of the oldest meaningful "graphs", in the sense of [[graph theory]] (technically, it is a [[complete graph]] on 4 vertices, the same as the vertices and edges of a [[tetrahedron]]).

Of course, if the diagram is interpreted according to ordinary [[logic]], then it contains a number of contradictions (since the set of twelve propositions [[#Basic description|listed above]] is mutually [[contradictory]]).  However, if the three links connecting the three outer nodes of the diagram to the center node are interpreted as representing a non-[[Transitive relation|transitive]] quasi-equivalence relation (where the statement "A is equivalent to C" does '''''not''''' follow from the two statements "A is equivalent to B" and "B is equivalent to C"), then the diagram is fully logically coherent and non-self-contradictory.  So the medieval Shield of the Trinity diagram could be considered to contain some implicit kernel of the idea of [[Classical logic|alternative logical systems]].[http://trinities.org/blog/?p=15]

Unlike some other logical or mathematical constructs sometimes offered as analogies for the Trinity (such as the [[:Image:Dreieinigkeit.svg|Venn diagram]] and the [http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/xdimgod.html cube viewed by inhabitants of a two-dimensional plane]), the Shield of the Trinity does not too easily lend itself to interpretations which are non-orthodox from the traditional mainstream Christian point of view.
