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.

black and white tables illustrating the concepts and charges used
on coats of arms. Also, basics of sfragistics and genealogy are

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.

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.
