The contribution discusses new findings on the baronial title, family, date of death, tomb and estate of the Carniolan polyhistor Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641-1693) and thus complements the treatise ...which was published in Zgodovinski casopis/Historical Review in 2007. It has been proven that Valvasor was not entitled to the baronial title which he himself had adopted early on. However, the majority of his thirteen children were born at Bogensperk rather than elsewhere. The questions of polyhistor's date of death and place of burial still remain open, but new data referring to these subjects have come to light. The most solid findings are those concerning the house in Krsko in which he died and those regarding the fate of his estate. The mentioning of Valvasor's hitherto unrecorded manuscript book of unknown contents, which was in 1696 purchased by Count Vid von Strassoldo, has risen to surface. //ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: Prispevek obravnava nove ugotovitve o baronskem naslovu, druzini, casu smrti, grobu in zapuscini kranjskega polihistorja Janeza Vajkarda Valvasorja (1641-1693) in s tem dopolnjuje razpravo, objavljeno v Zgodovinskem casopisu leta 2007. Dokazano je, da Valvasor ni bil upravicen do baronskega naslova, ki si ga je ze zgodaj privzel sam. Vecina njegovih trinajstih otrok se je vendarle rodila na gradu Bogensperk, in ne kje drugje. se naprej ostajata odprti vprasanji datuma polihistorjeve smrti in kraja pokopa, o katerih so sicer prisli na dan novi podatki. Najtrdnejsa so spoznanja o tem, v kateri hisi v Krskem je umrl, in o usodi Valvasorjeve zapuscine. Na povrsje je prisla omemba Valvasorjeve doslej neevidentirane rokopisne knjige neznane vsebine, ki jo je iz njegove zapuscine leta 1696 kupil Vid grof Strassoldo, odkrit pa je bil tudi Valvasorjev lastnorocni urbar za Bogensperk, ki je skupaj z njegovo zapuscino prisel v cistercijanski samostan v Kostanjevici na Krki.

This article discusses the artists that collaborated in the graphics workshop of the Carniolan polymath Johann Weichard Valvasor (16411693) at Bogensperk Castle near Litija. Together with facts ...already known, newly discovered and overlooked biographical information on Valvasor's copperplate engravers, a draftsman, and a painter have overturned several assertions and assumptions. The most important new findings include the Bavarian origin of Valvasor's leading copperplate engraver Andreas Trost, the non-aristocratic birth of the painter Bartholomew Ramschissl, and the potential identity of the cabinetmaker Michael Stangl with the monogramist MS. The timeframes of Valvasor's individual collaborators' stays at Bogensperk have been reddened, and the contribution also offers new findings about the subsequent lives of almost all the persons discussed. Finally, it raises the question whether it is possible to prove any connection between Valvasor's collaborators and a house in smartno pri Litiji that is traditionally linked to his graphic work. Publication Abstract
The creation and economic rise of certain civil settlements in Slovenia in the pre-industrial era is inextricably related to the exploitation of water resources and mineral wealth. Two villages ...became marketplaces thanks to water resources: in the 16th century, Vrhnika mostly because of Ljubljanica river navigation and river traffic; at the turn of the 17th and 18th century Dolenjske Toplice acquired the position of a marketplace, soon to lose it. River transport on Sava in the 18th and early 19th century significantly changed the economic and social profile of the medieval market called Litija; after it ceased due to the railway, a reversal occurred again. However, the exploitation of mineral wealth had even greater impact on formation of urban settlements than river transport. At the end of the Middle Ages, there was a marketplace Bela Peč (now in Italy), the only mining settlement that managed to acquire all the attributes of a marketplace with a developed autonomy. The place Idrija is certainly the biggest phenomenon of them all, with its mercury mining. Getting its marketplace status in late 17th century, Idrija was referred to as a mining town from mid-18th century onwards, and later a city (the second biggest one in Carniola); although on an overall level it lacked institutions of a city administration.

Prispevek obravnava dogajanje v epidemičnih letih 1724 in 1725 v Beli krajini, skrajni jugovzhodni pokrajini vojvodine Kranjske in današnje Slovenije. Z vzpostavitvijo sistema obmejnih vojaških straž ...proti sosednji Hrvaški se je pokrajina in z njo Kranjska leta 1724 uspešno obranila pred kugo, ki se je pojavila na severozahodu Bosne v osmanski državi. Straže so bile učinkovitejše, ker jih je oskrbovala redna cesarska vojska. Konec istega in v začetku naslednjega leta je prebivalce Bele krajine sočasno prizadelo več nalezljivih bolezni, ki so povzročile visoko umrljivost. O širjenju, preprečevanju in zdravljenju bolezni se je ohranilo izčrpno zdravniško poročilo, kakršnega za čas pred tem ne poznamo. Gre za prvovrsten vir o zdravstvenih in higienskih razmerah v pokrajini, zgovoren tudi v kulturnozgodovinskem pogledu.
Trnovo Mansion, named after the eponymous village, which now forms part of Ilirska Bistrica, is one of those early modern mansions and seigniorial seats, the location of which has sunken into ...oblivion and the very existence of which has remained forgotten for a very long time. There are two main reasons for this. First, the small seigniory, named Trnovo Mansion, only existed for a part of the eighteenth century, and the appearance of the building itself was in no regard so distinct as to be later necessarily associated with the former seigniorial seat. Founded by the Barons Oberburg, the seigniory de facto ceased to exist as a legal entity in 1762, when its estate was divided among Baron Wolf Anton’s five heirs. At that time, the mansion itself, no more than a fine house, belonged to the baron’s sister, who, two decades later, handed it over to her relative from another branch of the Oberburg family. Once it passed into non-noble hands, the memory of its former function was definitively lost. The article methodologically presents the process of tracing the construction, location, and disappearance of the mansion.
