[o3b99]

This book deals with the history, evolution and meaning of the Spanish coat-of-arms, flag and anthem. It is an excellent book, written by experts on each subject. The first section (225 pp.) deals with the coat-of-arms and was written by Faustino Menéndez Pidal y Navascués, the foremost Spanish heraldist and a member of the AIH committee. It includes interesting studies on the origins of each quarter of the Arms (current and ancient). The second section (155 pp.) deals with the flag and was written by Hugo O’Donnell. It includes articles on the contest and election of the 1785 war ensign (the current national flag), on the origins of the purple shade in the 1931 Republican flag etc. The third section (100 pp.) deals with the anthem and was written by Begoña Lola.

Excellently edited but originally quite expensive (EUR 150,00), a paperback version [o3b00] (EUR 57,10) plus a cheaper hardbound re-edition [o3b00a] (EUR 120,00) have made it more easily available. The book was published by the Spanish government, originally destined for “gifts of state”, so that the 1999 edition numbered only 1000 copies, of which 962 were distributed by the King and the Prime Minister among official entities (Ministries, regional and provincial governments etc.) and as “gifts of state”, only 38 being sold through a very limited dealer network, according to the person in charge with whom I spoke at the publishers.

[o9o11]

Only the 1911 edition has flag content. There are about 100 flags, appearing in the page margins. I was speaking to the former Keeper of Hull’s Maritime Museum a while ago, and he confirmed that only this edition had the flags, and nothing was published elsewhere, before or since, to make up for it. The books mostly contain fleet lists, tide tables and other handy information for the trawling skipper.
Ian Sumner, 28 Jun 2011

The almanack has been published since 1876 and lasted until 2000. The original edition was compiled by Ole Theodor Olsen; Olsen’s name was added to the title from the 1928 edition on.
