The volume Historični seminar 14 ('Historical Seminar 14'), issued in the time of transformed reality of what we knew and took for granted, draws attention to the fact that the image we cultivate of ...ourselves and our history may sometimes be too simplified to be entirely real. At first, the volume both revises already known chapters of Church history and introduces hitherto unknown ones. Simon Malmenvall’s analysis of the characters of the noble martyrs Boris and Gleb, Jovan Vladimir, and Magnus Erlendsson shows how the stories of their martyrdom had a nation-building function. Celeste McNamara’s article on Giovanni Barbarigo introduces the unusual and less well-known topic of seventeenth-century missions. Monika Deželak Trojar analyzes in detail Johann Ludwig Schönleben’s German and Latin Lenten sermons. Aleš Maver’s article discusses why Latin disappeared so quickly from Slovenian churches after the Second Vatican Council. On the other hand, the pre-modern religious practices of nature worshippers in Slovenia are discussed by Cirila Toplak. Modern times and also more political issues are examined by Tomaž Ivešić who focuses on the increase in ethnic tensions in Yugoslavia in the early 1970s, while Aleksandar Takovski traces the historical representation of heroic figures in four former Yugoslav countries.
The third, online Slovenian edition of the History of Historiographic Thought combines all the original texts of the first (2006) and second (2016) editions as well as some new ones. It is an answer ...to the specific needs of the community of readers, especially teachers and students of history and related sciences. The book covers over two and a half millennia long history of the evolution of historiography since its earliest beginnings~new (and in some cases old) translations of selected chapters of the major works of Western historical thought, accompanying chapters and biographical sketches form an outline of the development of historiography in Greek and Roman antiquity (including some basic texts of non-historians), a comprehensive review of medieval authors with special emphasis on the Byzantine and Renaissance historiography, followed by a thoughtful selection of early and modern authors. The excerpts from their most influential reflections on the meanings of historiography define the historiography of the Enlightenment, confronts the national and positivist interpretations of the past, presents sources of the so-called new historiography and assesses the impact of postmodernism on the development of past ten years in historiography and the creation of a new cultural history, which inaugurated the 21st century.
Julijan Odpadnik je bil rimski cesar, ki je v četrtem stoletju, ko se je krščanstvo pod Konstantinom že uveljavilo, skušal preobrniti zgodovino nazaj v čas poganstva. Njegova vladavina je bila kratka ...in nepričakovana, zanjo pa so bile značilne verske reforme in vojaški pohod nad Perzijo. Krščanski pisci ga prikazujejo negativno, za poganskega zgodovinopisca Amijana Marcelina pa je predstavljal podobo idealnega vladarja. V svojem zgodovinopisnem delu Res gestae je Julijana prikazal kot izbranca bogov. Kljub občudovanju mu ni prizanesel s kritiko, je pa načrtno zmanjševal pomen verskih in drugih zadev, ki bi lahko škodovale njegovi podobi. Da bi mu povečal veljavo, ga je primerjal z mnogimi slavnimi osebami iz grške in rimske preteklosti, prejšnjega cesarja Konstancija in Julijanovega brata Gala pa je prikazal izrazito negativno. Kljub naklonjenosti bogov pa je Julijan na pohodu proti Perziji zavrnil vsa svarilna znamenja, kar ga je stalo življenja. Njegovo smrt Amijan vzporeja s Sokratovo smrtjo in ga s tem prikaže kot vladarja filozofa, kar se ujema z Julijanovim lastnim idealom.
Cerkvena glasba 19. in 20. stoletja je bila do sedaj v glasbenem zgodovinopisju opazovana le s pomočjo umeščanja v »velike pripovedi«. Ta metoda nujno zabrisuje ali celo potvarja velik del ...podrobnosti o tem zgodovinskem pojavu. Zdi se, da je edina pot za odkritje primernejše interpretacije uporaba metod mikro-zgodovinskega raziskovanja.
Sodobno slovensko zgodovinopisje pri opazovanju preteklosti ozemlja današnje Slovenije v vedno večji meri opušča nacionalistično perspektivo, ki je prevladovala vse od 19. st. Avtor poskuša orisati ...pomen in utemeljenost uporabe tega pristopa v slovenskem glasbenem zgodovinopisju.
The volume Historični seminar 13 ('Historical Seminar 13') offers a selection of articles that have been “filtered” through the cycle of lectures over the past two years. These articles were written ...by ten researchers from Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, and Germany. Historični seminar 13 continues to examine its origin in the humanities by looking at history and describing the past, with perspectives that are also directed toward other disciplines: geography, comparative literature, ethnomusicology, and cultural anthropology. However, it always maintains a critical distance, which is emphasized in various ways because many of the articles question previous assumptions of past studies and their subjective points of departure. In this manner, this volume makes an important contribution to critical thought about scholarship in general and about the future tasks of the humanities and the social sciences. At the same time, it adds an increasingly current ethical touch to much of its material. Historični seminar 13 is freely available online.

This volume ('Johann Ludwig Schönleben (1618–1681): A description of his life and work') features the first fundamental research on Johann Ludwig Schönleben (1618–1681), an important Carniolan ...historian, preacher, theologian, and polymath, who despite his greatness and importance for the Slovenian and wider European environment has not yet been comprehensively studied. It presents his life in detail, explaining many aspects of his life that have been unknown or poorly known up to now. The biographical part is followed by an overview of Schönleben’s entire oeuvre, which includes all of his printed and manuscript writings discovered so far, either preserved or unpreserved. The last two chapters focus on Schönleben’s historiographic and rhetorical or preaching works, placing his most important printed works in these two areas at the forefront, but also taking into account his extensive manuscript material. This volume provides an evaluation of Schönleben as a historian and preacher, and draws attention to the important transitional role he played in these two areas (influencing the works of his successors Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, Johann Gregor Thalnitscher, Tobia Lionelli, and Jernej Basar).
