The Blasonario of the Iberian Consanguinity, where apper the heraldry of Novais, consists of 7 volumes, starting the first in the year 1979 and the last in the year 1997, being its authors Ampelio Alonso de Cadenas, the King of Arms Don Vicente de Cadenas y Vicent (maximum authority of Spanish heraldry) and Liliana Ruiz Carrasco. It compiles a set of coats of arms and crests from different Spanish archives, others from armor stones, many from military passports and more from nobility, such as the name Novais corresponding to a line whose origin or location is indicated, but without specific attribution to a specific family.

The work "Linajes y Blasones de Galicia", by Father Crespo, where the heraldry and the history of the family name Novais appears, is the most important treatise of the heraldry of Galicia (Spain), and was published three hundred years after the appearance of the posthumous "Nobiliario, Armas y Triunfos de Galicia", by Father Felipe de la Gandara.

This work collects, as we have already said, the history and heraldry of family Novais so the Novais or they are Galician or linked in some of their branches to Galicia.
