Coat of arms

[edit]

"Their coat of arms consisted of three golden strips and five rhombuses on a blue background" – referring to the Bajamonti family in the Middle ages, before they arrived in Split.

"At that time, in their family coat of arms they had a greyhound prancing on a field of blue" – in Split.

Source (translations by me): Kečkemet, Duško (2007). Ante Bajamonti i Split. Split: Slobodna Dalmacija. p. 31. ISBN 978-953-7088-44-6.

The latter appears to have been made, albeit very poorly, on Commons. The Croatian Wikipedia (which is the only place the file is used) has the following description: "A silver dog standing on three green hills, on a field of blue"; the citation format is unusual, but I believe it's cited to:

  • Der Adel Koenigreich Dalmatien, Carl G. Friederich Hayer von Rosenfeld, 1873. Nürnberg – table 17
  • Re di armi, rukopis, D. S. Karaman, Muzej grada Splita – page 1 [a manuscript in the Split City Museum]
  • Spisi Heraldičke komisije za Dalmaciju (1817-1850), Državni arhiv Zadar [in the Zadar state archives]

I have no idea where File:Bajamonti.jpg (currently used in the article) is from, but nothing like it is mentioned in the book by Kečkemet. It was uploaded by a user who has since been blocked, and the comment was "old spalato book, public domain" – which doesn't tell us anything useful. ~barakokula31 (talk) 22:07, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
