The Stemmatografia (Slavonic-Serbian: Стематография, Serbian: Стематографија, Latin: Stemmatographia) was a 1741 book commissioned by the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitan of Karlovci, funded by Arsenije IV Jovanović Šakabenta, illustrated by Bulgarian–Serbian artist and writer Hristofor Žefarović (fl. 1734–1741), who translated and reillustrated the Stemmatographia (1701) of Austrian–Croatian Pavao Ritter Vitezović (1652–1713), who in turn based it on Mavro Orbini's Il Regno de gli Slavi (1601).
History
In 1701, Austrian–Croatian historian and artist Pavao Ritter Vitezović (1652–1713) published Stemmatographia in Vienna, in Latin, including 56 coat of arms of Slavic and "Illyrian" (South Slavic) lands.[1] He used examples from the Illyrian Armorials and other armorials.[1] In 1741, Hristofor Žefarović translated into Serbian and reillustrated the 1701 work,[1] with added portraits of Serbian saints and emperor Stefan Dušan (r. 1331–1355).[2] The engravings were made by Toma Mesmer.[2] Žefarović dedicated the work to Patriarch Arsenije IV Jovanović Šakabenta.[2] All coat of arms are the same as in the 1701 work, except that for Raška.[2]
The book was commissioned by the Serbian Orthodox Metropolitan of Karlovci, and funded by Arsenije IV.[3]
The Stemmatografia of Žefarović had immense influence on the Serbian Revolution, and the rebel generals used the coat of arms in it on seals and war flags.[2] It was re-printed in 1972.[4]
