The second edition of the book by archaeologist Ivan Šprajc, a considerably enlarged version of the first edition published in 2009, is a first-person narrative of his explorations in the Maya area. ...Written by a distinguished expert and published in German in 2015, with an English translation currently in press in the USA, it is an adventurous story presenting in a reader-friendly way the incidents, difficulties, dangers, and triumphs experienced by an archaeologist in the tropical forest of southeastern Mexico. The thematically rounded episodes following the chronological order of Sprajc's expeditions include interesting information about the life of the ancient Maya, about their settlements, economy, social order, religious life, politics, and the emergence, development, and collapse of their civilization, as well as about the lives of their modern descendants, the technological advances of archaeology, and Mexico's concern for cultural heritage. The book is equipped with an overview map and a wealth of photographic material.Publication of this book was made possible by generous gifts from Slovenian supporters of Šprajc’s expeditions: Abanka, Ars longa, Adria kombi, and National Geographic Slovenia (Rokus Klett Publishing House).
Z velikim projektom Celjske Mohorjeve družbe smo slovenski bralci leta 2015 dobili zapolnitev še ene bele lise v kulturi: prevod monumentalnega dela Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (v petih ...knjigah), ki ga je leta 731 v latinščini dokončal sveti Beda Častitljivi, menih iz Severne Humbrije na Angleškem. Delo se sicer začne z geografijo in zgodovino Britanije v rimskih časih, vendar postavlja v ospredje zgodovino razvoja krščanske Cerkve na Angleškem, zlasti v Severni Humbriji. Kljub poudarku na cerkveni zgodovini pa nam po uvodnih besedah enega od prevajalcev, dr. Bogdana Kolarja, delo ponuja tudi »največ informacij, ki nam pomagajo sestaviti zgodovino zgodnjih anglosaških kraljestev« (str. 47), torej največ splošnozgodovinskih podatkov o obravnavanem obdobju. To seveda ni bilo Bedovo edino delo; nasprotno, kot nam pove drugi prevajalec dr. Miran Sajovic v svojem uvodu, tvorijo večji del Bedovih spisov razlage svetopisemskih besedil, pridružujejo pa se jim Bedi zelo ljubi življenjepisi svetnikov, dve Kroniki človeške zgodovine, v katerih je uvedel štetje let »od Gospodovega učlovečenja«, torej po Kristusovem rojstvu, kot tudi homilije, priročniki (o metriki, retoričnih figurah, izračunavanju časa ...), pesmi (himne, epigrami) in peščica ohranjenih pisem. Najznamenitejša pa je vendarle Cerkvena zgodovina ljudstva Anglov.
