yellow edging with width of 1/5 of width of the gonfalon. The

Heraldry:
"City in Rivne Oblast. The first written mention about
Mizoch refers to 1322.On the 23d of September 1761 the colonel
Dunin-Karvats'kyi got a privilege from king August III to found a
town under the name of Velykyi Mizoch and he got the Magdeburg
Right for that town."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
My ancient encyclopedia says, under the heading
"Magdeburg", "Magdeburg became a flourishing
commercial town during the 13th century, and was an important
member of the Hanseatic League..."Magdeburg law"
(Magdeburger Recht), securing the administrative independence of
municipalities, was widely adopted." Perhaps where the
source says "was given Magdeburg right" we should
translate "received the right of civic self-government"
or something similar.
John Ayer, 8 July 1999
"Velykyi" mean "great[er]". "WM"
are thus the inicials of Velykyi Mizoch, spelt in polish or
german ,which make sense considering that this city is in the
Rivne Region, at the time under Lithuanian rule (?).
