This article presents the procedure for determining numerical scales based on the graphic scales drawn to process the graphic material in Volume VII of the Valvasor collection. To calculate the ...numerical scales, the miles drawn on the maps and their lengths in relation to one degree of the meridian were studied. A total of 22 different miles were drawn on the maps studied, of which the German mile was the most common. After calculating the numerical scales, it was found that the largest scale of the maps examined was 1:220,000 and the smallest was 1:11,200,000.

The pre-Enlightenment scholars from the Land of Carniola explored the region, its past, sociality and nature in order to give it praise. They aimed to produce knowledge based on rational reasoning in ...accordance with the emerging modern scientific episteme. They encountered mythical discourse which they attempted to overcome, yet, as the author of this article argues, they also drew from mythical discourse. Through case studies the author shows how ancient myths played a role in consolidating identity and building community. She argues that pre-Enlightenment scholars built collective memory in reference to the mythological establishment of the city of Ljubljana.
Janez Vajkard Valvasor je svoje uradno šolanje opravil v Ljubljani. Kmalu po zaključenem pouku je mladi Valvasor skupaj z že uveljavljenim kemikom Joannesom de Monte Snydersom eksperimentiral na ...Dunaju. V naslednjih letih je nadgradil svoje poznavanje kemijskih lastnosti kovin za izdelavo tankostenskega kipa ob Dolenjski cesti v Ljubljani iz posebej v ta namen izumljene zlitine podobne tistim, ki so jih Japonci uporabljali za svoje zvonove. Iz svojih knjig in potovanj je zvedel podrobnosti o tedanjih japonskih zlitinah s katerimi si je pomagal pri lastnem postopku vlivanja kipa. Valvasor je v Ljubljani končal le nižje študije, saj so visokošolski pouk razvili komaj desetletje po njegovi smrti. Kdo so bili njegovi učitelji kemije, morebiti celo alkimije, in kje so Valvasorjevi profesorji pridobili potrebna znanja? Na voljo je pravzaprav le ena sama zanesljiva notica o njegovem ljubljanskem študiju datirana 15. 8. 1659, vendar je tudi iz nje mogoče spoznati učitelje, ki so ga utegnili navdušiti s svojim poznavanjem strukture snovi. Abstract Valvasor’s Contributions to Chemical Technology The Polymath Joannes Weikhard Valvasor (* 1641) conducted all his formal training in Ljubljana. Shortly after completing his schooling the young Valvasor experimented with the established chemist Joannes de Monte Snyders in Vienna. In the following years Valvasor developed his knowledge of the chemical properties of metals for the manufacture of thin-walled statue at Dolenjska Street in Ljubljana. He used the specially designed alloy similar to those endorsed by the Japanese for their bells. From his books and travels Valvasor learned the details of the Japanese alloys and used the data for his own process. According to the only available note about studies in Ljubljana College on August 15, 1659 Valvasor passed from the lower Latin Mary’s congregation to the higher Latin Mary’s congregation which means that he just finished the study of Syntax (higher Grammar) and was about to began his studies of poetics. He probably enrolled as the student-beginner in 1655/56 and graduated as the student of rhetoric in 1660/61. In this paper we will name Janez Vajkard Valvasor’s teachers of chemistry in his teenage years. Valvasor eventually finished just few years of his lower studies because as impetuous young man he decided not to continue his studies in any of the higher education institutions available outside Ljubljana. The leaders of Ljubljana lower courses who enabled and supported the work Valvasor’s formal teachers will be focused. The other important locals who helped Valvasor’s formal teachers to manage his teenage aspirations will be described. And last, but not least, the professor of Valvasor’s teachers will be named. Keywords: Johan Weikhard Valvasor, Athanasius Kircher, Joannes de Monte Snyders, History of Chemistry, History of Schools, chemisemiotics.
Kranjski polihistor Janez Vajkard Valvasor ima zasluge, da je širšo javnost že leta 1689 kot prvi kratko seznanil s pomenom skladatelja Janeza Krstnika Dolarja (ok. 1620–1673). A obenem je Dolarjeva ...identiteta tudi po Valvasorjevi krivdi dolgo ostala nejasna. Polihistor je rojaka in skladatelja vsekakor spoznal še kot dijak na ljubljanski jezuitski gimnaziji, kjer je Dolar poučeval v letih 1656–1658. Več kot verjetno je njuno ponovno srečanje oziroma srečevanje na Dunaju okoli leta 1666. Obstaja precejšnja verjetnost, da je Valvasor iz prve roke izvedel za natis Dolarjevih skladb in da je tiske, ki jih do danes še niso odkrili, tudi videl na lastne oči.
Although many authors have written about Valvasor's probate inventories none of them has undertaken an analysis of the books that remained at the Bogensperk castle and in Krsko after his death. The ...article briefly presents the four inventories that follow each other chronologically and have been named after the place in which they had been created, namely in Bogensperk, Krsko, Ljubljana, and Knezija. It was possible, through an investigation of online catalogs, to determine most of the book titles that in the inventories were noted only approximately or were merely described, as well as the majority of their authors and the place and date of their publication. An analysis of the inventories of Bogensperk and Krsko gives an insight into Valvasor's plans that due to his untimely death were never realized. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
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 tiie 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 bom 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.
The emblematic book of fables De warachtighe fabulen der dieren, with etchings by Marcus Gheeraerts (Brugge, 1567), was translated into several languages and the illustrations were copied time and ...again. An original reinterpretation of Gheeraerts’s etchings has recently been discovered in two publications by Johann Weichard Valvasor (1641-1693), the great patron of the arts, who established the first printmaking workshop in the Duchy of Carniola. The engravings in the Dominicae Passionis Icones (1679) and Theatrum mortis humanae tripartitum (1682) produced in Valvasor’s workshop at Bogenšperk Castle are embellished by original decorative borders, designed by Valvasor’s master engraver Andreas Trost. Until recently the borders were considered to be of purely ornamental character, although among the skillfully rendered miniature plants and animals there are quite a number of beasts that form a distinctive narrative scene. Analysis of the animal scenes shows that many of them represent a characteristic episode from one of the popular Aesop’s fables. Most of them are modeled on Gheeraerts’s etchings for De warachtighe fabulen der dieren via their copies by Aegidius Sadeler II made for his Theatrum morum (Sadeler’s book was at Trost’s disposal in Valvasor’s library at Bogenšperk Castle). The article examines the strategies used for integrating Gheeraerts’s fables illustrations into the new format, thus revealing the inventiveness and virtuosity of Valvasor’s master engraver. It also tries to answer two questions of crucial importance: why did Trost choose Gheeraerts’s illustrations as his models and what is the actual function of the animal fable scenes in the new context?
Kranjski polihistor Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641-93)uradno najveijetnejenikolini izvedel, da ga j e angleska znanstvena akademij a Kralj eva druzba (Royal Society) 14. decembra 1687 sprejela za ...svojega ¿lana. Se pred tern dejanjem so se namrec njegovi pisni stiki s Kraljevo druzbo na nepojasnjen nacin pretrgali. Pismo znamenitega astro noma Edmonda Halleyja Valvasorju iz januarja 1688, ki ga polihistor potrjeno ni prejel, omenja poleg sprejema v clanstvo tudi slavilne verze Kraljeve druzbe, namenjene objavi v Slavi vojvodine Kranjske. Verzi so se skupaj s pismom izgubili in tako niso bili natisnjeni v uvodu tega Valvasoijevega monumentalnega delà iz leta 1689. V prispevku je prvic objavljen slovenski prevod Halleyjevega pisma. Doslej neznano pismo, odkrito v Londonu, paje se dodatno osvetlilo Halleyjev pogled na Valvasoija. / The Carniolan polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641-1693) most probably never learned officially that on December 14, 1687 the Royal Society had accepted him as a member. Prior to this, his written contacts with the Royal Society had been cut off in an unexplained manner. A letter by the renowned astronomer Edmond Halley dated January 1688 that was never received by Valvasor mentions along with the news of the acceptance of his membership also the Royal Society's verses of praise intended for publication in the Glory of the Duchy of Carniola. The verses were lost along with the letter and were therefore not published in the introduction of Valvasor's monumental work of 1689. The contribution includes the first publication of the Slovene translation of Halley's letter. Another letter that was discovered in London and which was unknown up to the present further highlights Halley's views on Valvasor
Le rôle que le grand historien et fondateur de l'art graphique en Carniole a eu dans le développement de l'art et de la culture est bien connu du fait que Valvasor, lui-même artiste-amateur des ...techniques graphiques, a mis la main à la pâte et produit une gravure intéressante figurant à l'introduction de son suvre Theatrum mortis humanae tripartitum, qui, en dépit de son aspect graphique très riche, n'a pas attiré beaucoup d'attention des historiens de l'art. Il s'agit pourtant d'une śuvre importante intégrant les grandscourants dela production artistique traversant l 'Europe contemporaine qui thématisent, dans les arts plastiques et dans la littérature, la fugacité de la vie humaine et la mort.
Prispevek obravnava do nedavna neznane potomce kranjskega polihistorja Janeza Vajkarda Valvasorja (1641–1693), tako ali drugače povezane z glasbeno ustvarjalnostjo in poustvarjalnostjo v slovenskem ...prostoru. Pripadali so zadnjim na Slovenskem živečim generacijam polihistorjevega rodu in izšli iz vseh treh vej Valvasorjevega potomstva, ki so se razdelile v sedemdesetih letih 18. stoletja. Sredi 19. stoletja so se skoraj vsi njihovi člani preselili s slovenske Štajerske v Gradec, toda prav vsi, ki so se dokumentirano ukvarjali z glasbo, so vsaj del življenja preživeli na Slovenskem. Razvejano potomstvo Janeza Vajkarda Valvasorja (do danes okoli 250 oseb) je od vseh umetnosti najbolj povezano prav z glasbeno.
