Draconic heraldry is a term applied to coats of arms and other heraldic insignia of the ‘Brotherhood of the Croatian Dragon’ Society and the draconic coats of arms as personal symbols of the ...Society’s members. The Society, established in 1905, is a cultural association that strives to preserve and renew Croatian cultural heritage and promote the identity and achievements of Croatian culture.From its establishment until today, the Society has granted its members personal coats of arms in accordance with prescribed heraldic standards and under the professional supervision of the Draconic Heraldic Office, thus being one of three realms of living heraldry in Croatia (the other two being municipal and ecclesiastic heraldry). The paper positions draconic heraldry within the Croatian heraldic heritage, and presents its development and the activities of heraldists and other participants in its shaping. Prior to the ban of the Society in 1946 by the Communist regime, the heraldic office was implemented through the work of Emilij Laszowski, a co-founder of the Society and renowned heraldic expert, who hired a distinguished artist, Vjera Bojničić Zamola, to produce coats of arms under his guidance. Together they produced over 200 draconic coats of arms (and recreated some hundred historical Croatian noble coats of arms), today mostly preserved in the Native Collection in Ozalj. The ‘Genealogy’ of the Society, painted by Stjepan Kukec for its 35th anniversary, includes over a thousand of its members, among which more than 800 are presented with individual draconic coats of arms. After the renewal of the Society in 1990, the office was first led by Milovan Petković, who re-established the tradition and established cooperation with heraldic experts and artists. During his leadership and mostly with the help of Maja Bejdić as expert adviser and Mladen Stojić as graphical artist, some fifty draconic coats of arms were designed for Society members. The office has been held by Zvonimir Gerber since 2006. He continued the practice and cooperation, introducing armorial patents to go with designed coats of arms. Around 20 draconic members were granted coats of arms in this period. He photographically documented the entire heraldic collection of draconic and other coats of arms in the Ozalj Native Collection. In 2017, he was succeeded by Mislav Grgić, who introduced a ceremonial grant of armorial patents at the most solemn occasions of the Society and reorganised heraldic regulations with the help of his future successor. Blazons (formalised heraldic descriptions of coats of arms) were included in the 13 new armorial patents granted, as the essential element of an armorial grant. Finally, the office was entrusted to Željko Heimer, who started gathering materials on draconic coats of arms, collected and systematized material collected by Gerber and the material produced after 1990, and initiated the creation of Draconic Armorial Books in two volumes: Vol. I. Prior to the 1946 Ban, with currently 246 coats of arms, and Vol. II. After the 1990 Renewal, with 82; both are being actively updated as research progresses.Furthermore, the paper classifies types of draconic coats of arms according to the outer characteristics of their design, forming chronologically successive, clearly divided types: four prior to ban of the Society in 1946, and four after its renewal in 1990. As the first published research concerning this matter, it presents theses and formulates questions, which can be answered only through further research.
Autor članka obrađuje kroniku metličke obitelji Fux, s grbom, koja je u obiteljskom vlasništvu već nekoliko generacija i koja je bila općenito prihvaćena kao konačna činjenica. Autor je analizirao i ...provjerio podatke iz kronike te razjasnio tko je njezin autor i kakvim je prevarantskim metodama izigrao obitelj, sugerirajući da se radio plemićkoj obitelji. Istovremeno je objasnio sve bitne elemente u kronici, kao i izvor grba.
While researching the history of the Fux family from Metlika a family member gave me the family chronicle that has been kept in the family from generation to generation. It is written in German in Gothic script. The unknown author of the chronicle describes the family roots back to the 16th century, mentioning individuals who were to serve as the proof that the Fux family obtained their coat of arms as early as the 16th century. The most important claims from the chronicle are: - The family obtained their coat of arms in the 16th century with brothers Niklas and Viktor (Victor) Fux. - The 18th century family ancestor Johann Joseph Fux was a renowned composer. - The chronicle states many individuals with the surname Fux in the 19th century. The problem with the chronicle is the lack of continuity among the successive generations, hence, it is necessary to check all the evidence and discover its author. It has been directly ascertained that the author of the chronicle is a certain Hermann Julius Hermann, a forger from Vienna selling bogus chronicles to which he added coat of arms belonging to families that happen to have the same surname. For that purpose he established The Institute for Genealogy and Heraldry in Vienna. He supplied numerous families with false chronicles; for the period between 1898 and 1905 alone it has been proven that he drew up and sold 696 chronicles. Herman did not act on its own. A certain Raimund Günther, a forger from Salzburg, was his aide, who supplied him with paper that was printed in advance. Günther was a consummate professional in his activities. He advertised his work in magazines and had numerous sales agents in his employment. They had with them examples and a catalogue in order to obtain clients. They were active across the entire Habsburg Monarchy, which is how the Fux family got in contact with them. The price for the forged chronicle was between 30 and 300 crowns. Chronicles drawn up by Hermann Julius Hermann are not scientific work. Hermann created them entirely for self-interest and did not choose means or sources in order to achieve that goal. He deceived his clients for the purpose of achieving a suitable price. The coat of arms obtained by Niklas and Viktor Fux in the 16th century was described by Julius Hermann in his chronicle, adding the composer Johann Joseph Fux and several other individuals who were not related, and he also included two members of the Fux family from Metlika (Karl Fux and his son Emanuel). In that way he created the impression that Karl and Emanuel Fux (the latter most probably placing the order) are related to other named individuals and sold this to the family.

U širem genealoškom i kulturnopovijesnom kontekstu analizira se sadržaj odnedavno dostupnog grbovnika iz knjižnice u Modeni. Komparacijom se utvrđuje da je riječ o jednom od prerisa ...Korjenić-Neorićeva grbovnika iz 1595, izrađenom za potrebe dubrovačkog antuninskog roda Radulović. Predaja o bosansko-humskom podrijetlu, zavičajnost u Dubrovačkom primorju, socijalni status i veze s Napuljskim kraljevstvom svrstavaju kapetane i brodovlasnike Raduloviće u krug začetnika ilirske heraldike. Početkom 17. stoljeća kupuju feud i grad Polignano u Apuliji, stječu titulu markiza i trajno sele na novi posjed. Osnovu njihova grba čini homonimijski preuzet znamen Radijelovića iz Korjenić-Neorićeva grbovnika, a u njegovu kompleksnu varijantu uključeno je još šest grbova iz iste zbirke. Značajnu je referencu na Apeninima imao znamen roda Sfondrati, pa su ga Radulovići preuzeli po ženskoj liniji u svoj kompleksni grb. Grbovnik Radulovića vjerojatno je nastao potkraj 17. stoljeća, za tada najutjecajnijeg člana roda, nadbiskupa Chietija i kardinala Nikolu Radulovića (1627-1702).
U hrvatskoj je historiografiji tek nekoliko periodičkih publikacija čije utemeljenje odnosno pokretanje seže u 19. stoljeće, ali – što je još važnije od toga – može se pratiti njihovo kontinuirano ...izlaženje u narednim i nadolazećim razdobljima, sve do današnjega dana. Među takvim periodicima iznimno važno mjesto zauzima Vjestnik Kr. hrvatsko-slavonsko-dalmatinskog Zemaljskog arkiva u Zagrebu, koji je 1899. godine, uz pomoć Emilija Laszowskoga, utemeljio i bio mu prvim glavnim urednikom Ivan pl. Bojničić-Kninski (1858.-1925.). Časopis je nekoliko puta mijenjao ime, a od 1958. godine izlazi pod imenom Arhivski vjesnik: Bulletin d’archives kao znanstveni i stručni godišnjak, tj. specijalizirana periodička publikacija arhivskih ustanova u Hrvatskoj za područja arhivistike, pomoćnih povijesnih znanosti, informatologije i komunikacijskih znanosti te srodnih disciplina. Kako je nakladnik i sjedište toga časopisa uvijek bilo i jest povezano s našom najvažnijom nacionalnom arhivskom institucijom – Hrvatskim državnim arhivom u Zagrebu – tako je taj časopis izvorište brojnih studija i članaka iz širokoga polja povijesnih znanosti, ali posebno pak iz pomoćnih povijesnih znanosti. To je istaknuto i u samom uvodniku prvoga broja časopisa sljedećim riječima: »3. Ovamo spada i znanstveno tumačenje arkivalija, dakle čitavo obsežno i zanimivo polje paleografije i diplomatike. Pripada takodjer i heraldika, genealogija i sfragistika, u koliko služe domaćoj povjesti.« Kako pomoćne povijesne znanosti u Hrvatskoj nisu imale svoju jedinstvenu specijaliziranu publikaciju, to je upravo ovaj časopis bio glavno mjesto za objavljivanje radova iz epigrafije, paleografije, diplomatike, kronologije, egdotike, sfragistike, genealogije, heraldike i dr. U ovom članku obrađene su i prikazane heraldičke teme u Vjestniku Kraljevskog hrvatsko-slavonsko-dalmatinskog Zemaljskog arkiva, odnosno Arhivskom vjesniku, i to u širokom vremenskom luku od 19. do 21. stoljeća. Također je ukazano na ulogu i važnost urednika ovoga časopisa i pojedinih zaposlenika arhiva koji su i sami bili istaknuti stručnjaci za heraldiku i druge pomoćne povijesne znanosti, a to su: Ivan Bojničić, Emilij Laszowski, Josip Matasović, Josip Buturac, Bartol Zmajić i Petar Strčić.
The Croatian historiography has only few periodicals that were founded i.e. started back in the 19th century, but more importantly, that have been pub-lished continually in the following periods, until today. Extremely important place among such periodicals belongs to the Vjestnik Kr. hrvatsko-slavonsko-dalmatinskog Zemaljskog arkiva (The Herald of the Royal-Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian Land Archives) in Zagreb, which was founded in 1899 by the honourable Ivan Bojničić-Kninski (1858 – 1925), with the help of Emilij Laszowski. Bojničić was also its first editor-in-chief. The periodical changed its name several times and since 1958 it has been published under the name Arhivski vjesnik – Bulletin d’archives (Archi-val Herald), as a scientific and professional annual i.e. a specialised periodical of archival institutions in the Republic of Croatia for the fields of archival science, auxiliary sciences of history, information science and communication science, as well as related sciences. Since the publisher and the headquarters of this journal has always been associated with our most important national archival institutions i.e. the Croatian State Archives, the journal is the source of numerous studies and articles from the wide field of historical science, particularly from the auxiliary sciences of history. This was also emphasized in the first editorial of the journal (“Naša zadaća” (“Our task”), I/1899, p.2) with the following words: “(...) 3. This also includes the scientific interpretation of archival records i.e. the entire vast and interesting field of palaeography and diplomatics. It also includes heraldry, geneal-ogy and sphragistics, if they are of use to the domestic history”. Since the auxiliary sciences of history in Croatia did not have their own unique specialized publica-tion (for a short while and only for some of them there existed Vitezović – mjesečnik za genealogiju, biografiju, heraldiku i sfragistiku I/1903-1904, II/1905; and Glasnik heraldike – časopis za grboslovlje, rodoslovlje, životopis i pečatoslovlje, I/1937, II/1938), it meant that journal was the focal point for publishing papers regarding epigraphy, palaeography, diplomatics, chronology, egdotics, sphragistics, geneal-ogy, heraldry etc. This paper will examine and present the heraldic themes in The Herald of the Royal Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian Land Archives i.e. Archival Jour-nal during a very wide timeframe from the 19th to the 21st century. It will also point out the role and importance of its editor-in-chiefs, as well as numerous archives employees who were also renowned experts in heraldry and other auxil-iary sciences of history, namely, Ivan Bojničić, Emilij Laszowski, Josip Matasović, Josip Buturac, Bartol Zmajić and Petar Strčić.
U radu se analizira podrijetlo i upotreba simbola sv. Jeronima u heraldici. U likovnoj umjetnosti svetome Jeronimu pripisuje se nekoliko atributa. Kao crkveni naučitelj najčešće se prikazuje s ...knjigama, osobito s Biblijom ili kao pustinjak odjeven u kostrijet. U skladu s heraldičkim redukcijama, likovi lava i kardinalskog šešira postali su glavni Jeronimovi heraldički simboli diljem kršćanstva. Odabir lava nedvosmislen je, a kao Jeronimov simbol u grbu svoga reda prvi su ga upotrijebili španjolski Jeronimiti, odnosno njihov najvažniji vođa i reformator Hernando de Talavera (1428. – 1507.), prvi nadbiskup Granade. Kao svečev heraldički simbol ujedno se pojavljuje i kardinalski šešir. Njegova uporaba i moguća povezanost s Jeronimom može se vidjeti u specifičnom obliku grba Slovinske marke (Windische Mark) u ilirskoj heraldici. Za hrvatsku povijest najzanimljiviji je treći heraldički simbol koji susrećemo kod ovog svetog „Dalmatinaca“. Riječ je o mladom mjesecu i zvijezdi, poznatom leljivu, koje su – kao i zasluge za stvaranje glagoljice – Hrvati pripisivali svetom Jeronimu. Stoga se leljiva, povezana sa svetim Jeronimom kao svecem zaštitnikom Ilirije, koristi isključivo u kontekstu hrvatske heraldičke tradicije.
