Notes: Our publication is a very ambitious project. It comprises many genres: phaleristics, medallic art, painting and general history of various organizations relating to the chosen subject of the book.
'World Awards in the Masterpieces of Timeless Art' is, perhaps, the first event in world historiography that aims to collect and unite information about the modern award system of all countries, to give a description of significant orders of the royal and imperial courts, to inform about prominent representatives of the medallic art, to recall those museums the collections comprised of orders and medals from every corner of the world, as well as to laud the most significant representatives of religion, auctions, show business and award business.
Certainly, the writing team selected awards with certain subjectivity, because each team member had his own aesthetic, academic and historical arguments for the inclusion of certain orders into the book. But, according to a famous literary character, 'one cannot embrace the unembraceable'.
The authors did not want to turn the book into a commonplace catalog of awards without taking into account their chronology and relevance, and that is why they carefully selected the effective honours.
We are confident that the book will become a true pearl among award encyclopedias for all world phaleristics history researchers.
