From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"On the 12th of May 1995, town council session confirmed a
modern emblem: in the argent shield on the vert hill there is a
vine with five azure bunches. The author - Y.Savchuck."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"City in Vinnytsa Oblast. The first mention refers to 1595.
The owner of the town Yarema Mohyla gave it as a dowry to his
daughter. S.Potots'kyi named the town Mohyliv in honor of his
father-in-law.In the first quarter of the XVII century Mohyliv
became one of the biggest towns of Podillia. Since 1648 it was a
regimental town. In 1743 it was given 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.
