The book ('Historical cartography of Slovenian territory') presents the history of cartographic development in Europe and Slovenian territory with a special emphasis on a uniform methodology of ...studying old maps. The introduction provides definitions of the basic cartographic terminology and discusses the importance of maps, their study, and the development of European cartography from its beginnings to the twentieth century. This is followed by a presentation of cartographic elements and their classification into five basic groups (i.e., natural, built, mathematical, and explanatory elements plus geographical names), and an analysis of their historical development. The main part of the volume presents the methodology for studying cartographic elements and the results of an analysis of fifty-eight medium-scale maps of what is now Slovenia from the mid-sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. A list of basic information on the most important maps of Slovenian territory is added at the end as an appendix. Maps can serve as the basis for exploring and studying landscapes and their processes. Old maps provide original information and are thus considered primary historical sources. The methodology used in this volume makes it possible to study these primary sources in a uniform manner across longer time periods.
The book presents a wealth of historical cartographic representations of Slovenian territory. It is divided into two main parts. The first or the text part briefly presents the history of European ...cartography up to the end of the nineteenth century, maps of the Slovenian territory up to the early twentieth century and maps as cultural heritage. In the second or cartographic part, in turn, features important historical maps of the Slovenian territory presented in chronological order. The format of the book enables an excellent presentation of the presented maps. The maps presented date from the mid-sixteenth century, when the first independent maps of present-day Slovenia were produced, to the beginning of the twentieth century, when cartography developed into a modern discipline. The aim of this book is to present the extensive Slovenian cartographic heritage.
Shematski zemljevid mesta Grosuplje iz leta 2011 prikazuje potek Adamičeve ceste od Stare pošte (sličica na levi zgoraj) skozi mesto do rojstne hiše pisatelja Louisa Adamiča v Prapročah (sličica na ...desni spodaj).

Peter Kozler je bil geograf in kartograf, politik, publicist, domoljub in narodni buditelj. A to še ni vse. Bil je tudi soustanovitelj Pivovarne bratov Kozler, predhodnice današnje Pivovarne Union, ...in Trboveljske premogokopne družbe ter eden vodilnih bančnikov in pospeševalec graditve železnic.V marčni revoluciji leta 1848 so tudi Slovenci v habsburški monarhiji izrazili zahtevo po lastni državi, “zedinjeni Sloveniji”. Zmaga revolucije je prinesla svobodo tiska ter dala možnost za javno obravnavo in propagiranje ideje o združitvi slovenskega narodnostnega ozemlja ne glede na deželne meje. Z oblikovanjem programa zedinjene Slovenije se je pojavila potreba po geografski opredelitvi slovenskega etničnega prostora. Na pobudo Matije Vrtovca se je maja 1848 pionirske naloge lotil Peter Kozler. Ker si pri zarisovanju meje ni mogel pomagati z obstoječimi zemljevidi in opisi jezikovnih meja v monarhiji, je za opise jezikovne meje na posameznih odsekih prosil narodnjake, ki so mu pošiljali natančne podatke.Na začetku leta 1849 je Kozler zbrano gradivo izročil dunajskemu bakrorezcu, ki je pobegnil z Dunaja zaradi političnega preganjanja. Z njim sta izginila tako že delno narejena bakrena plošča kot rokopis komentarja k zemljevidu. Ko so leta 1851 našli ploščo in rokopis, se je Kozler namenil dokončati začeto delo. Na začetku leta 1853 je na Dunaju natisnil zemljevid, a izida oblasti niso dovolile. Vojaško sodišče na Dunaju je zaplenilo vse izvode in obtožilo Kozlerja, da že z naslovom zemljevida ruši nezakonito zvezo avstrijskih dežel. Na sodnem procesu je bil Kozler oproščen. Zemljevid je lahko izšel šele po obnovi ustavnega življenja leta 1861. Slovenija je bila na Kozlerjevem zemljevidu precej večja od današnje države, ki meri le 87 odstotkov ozemlja, prikazanega na njegovem zemljevidu.Vir: http://zgodovina.si/peter-kozler-avtor-prvega-zemljevida-slovenskih-dezel/
In the early 19th century part of the Slovenian, Italian, Austrian, Croatian and Montenegro territory has been included into political and administrative unit known as the Illyrian Provinces. The ...Illyrian Provinces incurred at the request of Napoleon Bonaparte and, together with its fall also ceased to exist. The edition of this book was prepared in order to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the Illyrian Provinces, to highlight the role of cartography in the Slovenia and to emphasize the importance of the historical moment of the causes and consequences of the Illyrian Provinces. Almost unknown Gaetano Palma is the author of cartographic display of the territory of the Illyrian Provinces. The merits of the map are: relatively large map scale, quality cartographic representation of the terrain and systematic breakdown of some cartographic elements. This depiction of the Illyrian Provinces was designed for completely common purpose, which should help to better recognize and to assimilate displayed area. Therefore, the authors have added several important aspects to the reproduction of this map. These are: an overview of the status of a state of the Illyrian Provinces, transparent outline of the main achievements of the Napoleonic Cartography in the Eastern Adriatic and the Eastern Alps regions and detailed geographical description and index of geographical names. Herewith they presented the map and the happening of that time to the modern reader.
