The Heraldry of Cres The Heraldicki Cres / The Heraldry of Cres / Cherso Araldica / Das Heraldische Cres is a well photographed publication illustrating the Coats-of-Arms and Insignias that dot the doorsways in the town of Cres on the island of the same name. Two hundred and seventeen coat-of-arms are listed along with photographs and a map showing their location. The book, as the title indicates, is written in Croatian, Italian, German, and English. The coat-of-arms within Cres are found above doorways, on facades of buildings and on tombstones. They date from the end of the 14th century up to the present day and include the coat-of-arms of the Cres noble families and later Venetian families, plus those from the state, and various religious and secular groups. Of importance to genealogists are the various coat-of-arms of the families of Cres. The Petris family, a well known Cres family, is featured in several coat-of-arms in Cus-Rukonic's book. Other families mentioned in this book include: Antoniazoo-Bochina, Bochina, Bono, Colombis, Draza, Drava-Petris, Ferricio, Massari-Bochina, Mitis, Moise, Petris-Bochina, and Rodinis.
