Title: Slovenska grb in zastava — heraldika in veksilologija
(in English: Slovenian coat of arms and flag — heraldry and vexillology)
Medium: book
Main author(s): Zmago Jelinčič
Language: Slovene
Edition (publisher: place): Učila: Ljubljana (Slovenia)
Edition date: 2008 (1st ed.)
Pages: 400 (<)
Format: A4 (tall) (279×210 mm)

Remarks: Online information and presentation.

Thus book contains the history of the development of the Slovenian flags and coats of arms, with lots of images, but also it seems that it includes rather large part on the Jelinčič’s ideas how the new symbols (not only flags and coats or arms, but military insignia and orders) should look like.

Looking briefly at the several pages from the book, I get a feeling that it should be rather interesting and should include a lots of valuable material, however, it seems to me that at least some of the text should be taken with a grain of salt, showing a bit of his odd political views.

(For example, on the page on Slovenian flags used by partisans in WWII, he seems to imply that the “Russian” tricolour was preffered by them because of the connection with communist Russia — although the the time the Russian tricolour was not used by Russians/Soviets for several decades and the link is quite questionable.)

The book seems to be also a planned move in view of the incomming Slovenian elections and was promoted by the chaiman of the Slovenian parliament.

Nearly a replica of [zna99] — three stars added for Gagauzia, the whole flag, not just the canton of Taiwan, the flag of East Flanders has been replaced by the one of Ouarzazate (twice!), the flag of Amsterdam slightly changed, flag of Warsaw/Prague added (one image) - the name "SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN" added; Zuidholland’s flag replaces the Scottish; no new flags for Rwanda, Comores, Nunavut — so it seems to be more a correction than an “update”.

Santiago Dotor, 17 Oct 2003

While it is of smaller dimensions than The World Encyclopedia of Flags [zna99], and has a different cover design, I am sorry to have to report that the reverse of the title page bears the statement «This edition was previously published as The World Encyclopedia of Flags». (In very small print I might add.) I could not find any statement indicating that anything had been revised, added, corrected or updated. I didn’t think to check if it had the new Rwanda flag. I jotted down the Contents page headings and page references and when home compared them to those in my copy of the [zna99] — they appear identical. The only difference at all which I could spot is that the new work has 8 additional pages at the rear of the book, headed "Notes", and otherwise blank.

Considering that no relevant flag book (except for the Album corrections [pay00]) was published after Crampton’s 1990 books [cra84], I agree Znamierowski is «the best flag book in the last ten years».

But I find the amount of mistakes far too much for what that book ought to be — a good, reliable reference work. Such as Smith 1975 [smi75b] is. When I find now something new in Znamierowski 1999, I ask myself, «is this a something new, or just one more mistake?». Pity.

Santiago Dotor, 03 Feb 2003

I should point out that while it’s a very nice book, it’s not quite an “encyclopedia”. Flags are placed in certain sections without a clear order, which gives a nice overview but not an encyclopedic comprehensiveness and accessibility.
