mounting, which are situated in two lines; in a top line there
are two and in a bottom – one stone. The author is

Heraldry:
"City in Lviv Oblast. The first mention refers to 1441. In
1471 - 1789 the town had the Magdeburg Right."
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.
