Although many authors have written about Valvasor's probate inventories none of them has undertaken an analysis of the books that remained at the Bogenperk 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. //ABSTRACT IN SLOVENE: O Valvasorjevih zapuscinskih inventarjih so pisali ze stevilni avtorji, vendar se nihce ni lotil analize zadnjih Valvasorjevih knjig, ki so ostale za njim na Bogensperku in v Krskem. Na kratko so predstavljeni vsi stirje inventarji, ki so poimenovani po kraju in si kronolosko sledijo: Bogensperk, Krsko, Ljubljana in Knezija. Prek spletnih katalogov se je dalo dolociti skoraj vse naslove, ki so v samih inventarjih vecinoma le priblizni ali opisani, ter vecino avtorjev, krajev in letnic izdaj. Analiza obeh seznamov knjig daje vpogled v Valvasorjeve neuresnicene nacrte, ki jih je prehitela prezgodnja smrt.
The Carniolan polymath Johann Weikhard Valvasor (1641-1693) owed almost the entire financial foundation of his twenty-year scholarly, publishing and collection activity to the family of his first ...wife Anna Rosina Graffenweger von Graffenau (1658-1687) and especially his wife's maternal grandfather Georg Wertasch of Scharffenegk. Both mansions near Litija, Bogensperk (Wagensperg) and Crni potok (Schwarzenbach), were essentially bought for the Valvasor couple by the Graffenwegers with the money inherited from Vertas. Valvasor himself contributed almost nothing to the purchase price, while the expenses for his graphic workshop and book publishing threatened the financial security and future of his children. Compared to Valvasor and his family, the Graffenwegers were a younger as well as less consequential noble family that left no noticeable imprint on public life. The family first appeared in Carniola at the beginning of the 17th century as a family of common social standing and its name disappeared with the fourth generation in the mid-18th century. The contribution casts light on Valvasor's rather discordant relations with his in-laws, of whom there is little mention in written sources.
The contribution focuses on the origin, relatives, immediate family and the first thirty years of the life of the Carniolan polymath Johann Weikhard Valvasor (1641-1693). New sources shed light on ...his genealogical, social and family background, as well as on circumstances in which he pursued his personal growth and development before he settled down at Bogensperk (Wagensberg) Castle and immersed himself entirely in his scholarly work. The fact that, through his parents, Valvasor belonged to both the old and new Carniolan nobility also reflected in his perception of the native province of Carniola.
