This richly illustrated Polish armorial presents one of the most recognizable coats of arms and noble family traditions associated with the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Created as a popular and accessible heraldic reference work, the book introduces readers to the fascinating world of Polish nobility, family lineages, heraldic symbols and ancestral traditions. Unlike large multi-volume scholarly armorials, this publication was designed to provide a broad overview of the most important and characteristic Polish coats of arms in a single volume.
The book contains more than 4,300 surnames of Polish noble families together with heraldic information, legends and historical references connected with particular coats of arms. The author draws inspiration from classic Polish heraldic works, including the famous armorials of Kasper Niesiecki and later genealogical publications.
An excellent reference for historians, genealogists, collectors, researchers of Polish ancestry and anyone interested in the culture, traditions and heraldic heritage of old Poland.
