BLASIOLIS-BLAŽIOLOVIĆ NOBLE SENJ FAMILY AND ITS COAT OF ARMS

Autor u radu opisuje poznatu senjsku plemićku obitelj Blažiolović (Blasiolis), talijanskog podrijetla, koja je rano pohrvaćena, a čiji su članovi zauzimali visoke crkvene i vojničke položaje u gradu Senju. Iz ove je obitelji bio i Jakov Blažiolovići, senjski biskup i glagoljaš, prevoditelj knjige La confessione generale, franjevca trećoredca Michaela de Carcana iz Milana. Knjiga je tiskana glagoljicom u Senju 1496. pod naslovom Spovid općena. Obitelj je u gradu imala četiri kamena reljefna grba: na nadgrobnom spomeniku Matije Blažiolovića iz 1564. koji je pokopan u crkvi sv.Franje, kameni obiteljski grb na grlu cisterne, obiteljski kameni grb koji se danas nalazi u ulici Ive Vlatkovića te reljefni kameni grb biskupa Jakova Blažiolovića koji se danas nalazi iznad ulaza u Sakralnu baštinu. Nekoliko članova ove obitelji sudjelovalo je u poslanstvima utjecajnih Senjana na dvoru u Beču. Zasigurno je obitelj talijanskog podrijetla, a prvi se put spominje u jednom dokumentu iz 1503., u kojem Antun Blažiolović moli ugarsko-hrvatskog kralja Vladislava da potvrdi gradu Senju sve povlastice koje je prije potvrdio kralj Matijaš Korvin. Neki članovi ove obitelji popisani su u prvom (1540.). i drugom (1551.) popisu senjske plaćene vojne posade, a Gašpar Blažiolović nalazi se na popisu vojne posade Otočac iz 1551. godine. Kao važna i utjecajna plemićka obitelj ostavila je dubok trag u povijesti i kulturi ovoga uskočkog grada.The author in this paper describes the famous Senj noble family Blažiolović (Blasiolis), of Italian origin, but very early on Croaticized and whose members took high church and military positions in the town of Senj. Originally of this family was also Jakov Blažiolović, a Senj bishop and glagolitic priest, who translated the book ‘La confessione generale’ by Franciscan bother Michael de Carcana from Milan. The book was printed in glagolitic in Senj in 1496 under the title ‘Spovid općena’ (General confession). The family had four stone relief coat of arms in the town: on the grave stone monument of Matija Blažiolović from 1564 who was buried in the Church of St. Francis, stone family coat of arms on the top of a well, family stone coat of arms which today is placed in Ivo Vlatković Street and a stone relief coat of arms of Bishop Jakov Blažiolović which today is placed above the entrance in Sacral Heritage. Some members of this family participated in the delegations of influential people of Senj to the court in Vienna. It is sure this family of Italian origin was mentioned for the first time in one document from 1503 in which Antun Blažiolović asked the then Hungarian-Croatian King Vladislav to confirm privileges to the town of Senj which before were confirmed by King Mathias Corvinus of Hungary. Some members of this family were noted in the first (1540) and second (1551) list of Senj mercenary troops and Gašpar Blažiolović was on the list of military troops in Otočac in 1551. As an important and influential noble family they left a deep trace in the history and culture of this town of Uskoks
