Prispevek osvetljuje življenje in delo plodovitega in doslej slabo raziskanega kiparja, pozlatarja in restavratorja Ivana Sojča (1879−1951). Kiparsko in drugo potrebno znanje ter izkušnje je dolgo ...pridobival v različnih delavnicah doma in v tujini. Leta 1908 je odprl lastno delavnico v Vitanju, od leta 1911 pa je živel in ustvarjal v Mariboru. V okviru raziskav je bil njegov štirideset enot obsegajoči seznam del dopolnjen z več kot sto šestdesetimi novimi. Med njimi prevladuje lesena cerkvena oprema, pomemben del opusa pa predstavljajo polnoplastični in reliefni betonski figuralni nagrobniki. V prispevku, podprtem z arhivskimi viri in ustnimi pričevanji potomcev, je Sojčevo delo predstavljeno glede na slogovne usmeritve, vzore, ikonografijo, tehniko in materiale, namembnost in kvaliteto. Prvič je izpostavljeno njegovo pozlatarsko-poslikovalsko in restavratorsko delo. Ob naštetem je zapolnjena tudi vrzel v poznavanju njegove biografije.
The present study deals with the question of the organization of the stonemasonry production of funerary monuments in the interior of the former Roman province of Dalmatia. The aim of the research ...was to identify a model of stonemasonry production that originated in a mountainous and difficult to traverse area, where the possibilities of water transport of stone material are minimal. The author started from the assumption that production centres formed in some geographical areas during Roman rule, using local limestone sources for their operation. The study includes funerary monuments discovered in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the western part of Serbia and Montenegro. By combining the methods of macroscopic petrographic analysis of the stone material and typological and spatial analysis, the existence of several production centres was proven. The results of the analyses indicate a very likely that they exploited the local limestone resources. Epigraphic data also made it possible to define their chronological aspect.
Članek prinaša sistematičen pregled nad listinskimi omembami pokopov laikov v cistercijanskem samostanu Stična in njihovim vplivom na umetnostno zasnovo cisterce. Najstarejši dokaz povezav s ...plemstvom je krog z grbovnim ščitkom tik nad nekdanjim nišnim grobom v severovzhodnem kotu križnega hodnika ob prvotnem meniškem vhodu v cerkev. Naslikan je bil pred obokanjem križnega hodnika, ki se postavlja v čas okrog leta 1228. Do tega leta arhivski viri med pokopanimi v samostanu omenjajo le soustanovitelje samostana, Višnjegorske grofe in njihovo rodbino. Po sredini 13. stoletja so v skladu s prakso v drugih cistercijanskih samostanih pokopi laikov postali pogostejši. Najstarejša listina, ki se najverjetneje nanaša na pokop laika v cerkvi, sega v leto 1293. Avtorica v članku argumentirano podaja številne nove interpretacije in razpravlja o identifikaciji grbov, mestu, kjer so bili pokopani soustanovitelji samostana, identifikaciji oseb, ki so bile pokopane v pokopališki kapeli, in nišnem grobu pod najstarejšim grbom v križnem hodniku.

The sepulchral monuments of Noricum and Pannonia dating to the Antonine - Severan period (and later), particularly the aediculae, are characterised by abundant mythological decoration. The central ...mythological scene of a more or less detailed mythological apparatus is one of the three key ingredients used in presenting the deceased or their families, the other two being the portraits and the inscription tablet (all of them placed on the front facade of the monument). The choice of the mythological scenes is guided by the two basic art themes found on Roman sepulchral monuments - death, consolation, and mourning, and, on the other hand, homage to the deceased and his virtues, or mourning and farewell. Both themes correspond to the topoi of funeral poetry and rhetoric. The choice of the individual myths reveals differences between the sarcophagi of Rome and the products of Noricum or Pannonia, as well as between the products of Noricum and of the Pannonian centres.
