Valvasorjeva navezanost na nekatere svoje knjige ob koncu življenja

Abstract

Although many authors have written about Valvasor’s probate inventories none of them has undertaken an analysis of the books that remained at the Bogenšperk castle and in Krško 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 Bogenšperk, Krško, Ljubljana, and Knežija. It was possible, through an investigation of online catalogs, to determine most of the book titles that in the inventories were noted only ap- proximately 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 Bogenšperk and Krško gives an insight into Valvasor’s plans that due to his untimely death were never realized.
