The goal of this course is to encourage students to focus on their specific scientific areas of interest, develop their ability to design their own research, and become familiar with basic methodological models for research and source analysis, interpretation, and the fundamentals of writing scientific papers. The course provides additional knowledge on researching issues related to Croatian heraldic heritage, which is an aspect of studying medieval and early modern nobility as one of the bearers of state and national identity. Comparative analyses of Croatian heraldic heritage with Western and Eastern European examples will help students understand Croatian cultural and political history within the broader context of European history. Given the specific methods of work (using domestic and foreign literature, as well as original archival materials), the course will introduce students to research perspectives and the foundations of scientific work. After an introductory overview of the origins of coats of arms and the development of global and Croatian heraldry, the course will present relevant literature and sources important for studying various aspects of medieval and early modern heraldry in specific Croatian and European regions. During the course, students will explore topics such as the forms and components of coats of arms, figures on shields, the origins and oldest Croatian armorials, coats of arms of noble families and municipalities, as well as those of cities and counties. The intention is to acquaint students with various forms of heraldic heritage, with a special focus on the comparative analysis of noble coats of arms from different Croatian regions and their comparison with Western European heraldic heritage. The course includes two group visits to archival institutions (the Croatian State Archives and the Archives of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts) to familiarize students with working on original archival materials. In addition, attention will be given to the critical interpretation of sources and the analysis of both foreign and domestic literature, which will serve as the basis for discussions on specific topics and encourage the generation of new research questions.
