The probate inventory of the wealthy Almerigo Petronio from Piran, recorded at the end of the sixteenth century, also states a list of over 360 books and manuscripts. Such a catalogue of units from a private library represents a unique specimen for Slovenian (Littoral) towns. The contribution therefore examines the identity of the deceased, who may be viewed as a representative of the intellectual elite of his time, and describes the genealogy of his family in the sixteenth century.
