| Abstract: The paper concentrates on a specific chapter of the Austrian heraldry, i.e. heraldry of the Jewish noble families. The coats-of-aims were originally granted to the Jews sporadically. Jakub Bassevi (1578-1635) was the first unbaptized Jew to receive a coat-of-arms and a title in the early 17th century. The Jews had not become ennobled until the 18th century. Their coats-of-arms, however, rarely contained traditional Jewish symbols. In Austria, we can thus encounter only the Star of David, the Ten Commandments and the prayer shawl (tallit). |
