Valvasor in Edmond Halley. O vprašanju polihistorjevega članstva v angleški Kraljevi družbi (Royal Society) in posledicah prekinjenih stikov z njo
No full textWritten contact between the Carniolan polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641, Ljubljana-1693, Krško) with the Royal Society in London, the oldest English academy of science, has been documented for some time thanks to the publication of the correspondence between the years 1685-1688 and a letter sent to Valvasor in 1688 by the renowned astronomer Edmond Halley (1656-1742), whose greatest discovery is named after him: Halley's Comet. The contribution addresses the question of how the polymath's contact with the Royal Society came to be broken off, what he therefore never learned and the consequences of the fact that he never received Halley's letter. In fact, Valvasor never learned the official date of the acceptance of his membership of the Royal Society, i.e. December 14, 1687 (December 24 according to the Gregorian calendar) and erroneously believed that he had already become a member in mid-1686. The date of acceptance was known from publication in contemporary scientific periodicals, while Halley's letter (published in its Latin original in the Historical Review in 1993, in Slovene for the first time in this contribution) revealed a new significant fact: Halley sent Valvasor verses of praise (his own or by other members of the Royal Society) that were intended for publication in Valvasor's monumental encyclopaedic work on Carniola Die Ehre deß Herzogthums Grain (Ljubljana-Nürnberg 1689). Without them, the range of the published praise in the introduction to this work is substantially impoverished. Had the verses from London reached Valvasor, and had they been published in his most significant book, all literature on the Carniolan polymath and his work would have emphasised this fact as one of great importance. Had the verses been signed by Edmond Halley himself, it is not to be imagined easily, with what reverence Slovene historiography and local studies would have used the name of the renowned astronomer. The reasons for breaking off of written contact between Valvasor and the Royal Society were mostly of technical and objective nature. Valvasor wrote letters to London at least up to November 1688 without receiving any reply. It has been confirmed that Edmond Halley replied to his letter of November 1687, but this important letter from January 1688 failed to reach Valvasor. The question arises whether Valvasor could have been absolutely certain of his membership of the Royal Society. Without a date and a signature, which he did not see, he might occasionally have been plagued by doubts. However, he appears not to have doubted his acceptance by the Royal Society. To his membership refer the copper engraving portrait, which most probably dates back to 1687, and his last two books which, were published in Nürnberg in 1688 and 1689. Furthermore, in 1691 as a member of the Royal Society, he was in correspondence with a comember St. George Ashe who was staying in Vienna at the time. It is not of small importance that Ashe was given Valvasor's address by Halley himself
Three Manors of Čatež: Aspect on Ownership, Administration, Heritage, Economy, and Culture
Full text linkTrije čateški dvorci: lastniški, upravni, dediščinski, gospodarski in kulturni vidik
Diplomsko delo skuša z opiranjem na arhivske in druge vire predstaviti zgodovinski razvoj treh dvorcev na območju župnije Čatež ob Savi: vinskega dvorca Straža v Cerini, dvorca Dvorica v današnjem naselju Dvorce in dvora Čatež na Čatežu ob Savi. Vsak od dvorcev je vse od svojih srednjeveških začetkov do propada oziroma do svoje zapuščine v sodobnem času predstavljen v lastnem poglavju. Ta so členjena glede na spreminjanje njihovega lastništva, ki je kot eden najbolj ključnih dejavnikov vplival na razvojni proces dvorcev, na njihovo vlogo v lokalnem zgodovinskem kontekstu ter na izoblikovanje njihove podobe v kolektivnem spominu domačinov. Pri vseh treh dvorcih je kot lastnik in upravitelj ključno vlogo v njihovi evoluciji odigral cistercijanski samostan Kostanjevica, medtem ko si je njemu nasproti za prevlado na tem mejnem interesnem območju prizadevalo gospostvo Mokrice. V nadaljnjih stoletjih so širši modernizacijski procesi sekularizacije, zmanjševanja vloge plemstva na Kranjskem in drobljenje kmečkega prebivalstva vplivali tudi na spreminjanje namembnosti dvorcev, naposled, v primeru Dvorice in Čateža, pa privedli do njunega propada. Pri dvorcu Straža, ki se je ohranil vse do danes, je predstavljena tudi njegova podoba in interpretacija v kolektivnem spominu lokalnega prebivalstva.Based on archival and other sources, this thesis tries to present the historical development of three mansions in the Čatež ob Savi parish: the Straža wine manor in Cerina, the Dvorica manor in today\u27s Dvorce settlement and the Čatež manor in Čatež ob Savi. Each of the manors is presented in its own chapter, including everything from its medieval beginnings to its collapse or to its legacy in modern times. These are divided according to the changes in their ownership, which is one of the key factors that influenced the development process of the manors, their role in the local historical context and the formation of their image in the collective memory of the locals. With all three manors, the Cistercian monastery of Kostanjevica played a key role in their evolution as their owner and manager, while the lordship of Mokrice sought to dominate it in this border area of interest. In the following centuries, wider modernization processes of secularization, reduction of the role of the nobility in Carniola and fragmentation of the peasant population also influenced the change of the manors and, in the case of Dvorica and Čatež, their collapse. Regarding the Straža manor, which has been preserved to this day, a separate chapter presents its image and interpretation in the collective memory of the local population
Vreme in podnebje na Kranjskem od 14. do 18. stoletja s poudarkom na zapisih v Valvasorjevi Slavi Vojvodine Kranjske

Full text linkA couple of years ago the author ruled out the possibility that the Carniolan polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641–1693) died in the so-called Valvasor´s house in Krško, on the front of which a commemorative plaque has been built-in since its unveiling in 1894. The author has managed to establish with a great deal of certainty that the polymath´s last home was actually a house located some hundred metres from the wrongly identified one. The purpose of the monograph is to shed light on the history of both houses based on the available data and to clarify any possible dilemmas regarding which of the two houses is the right one. The study focuses mainly on the issue of two the so-called Valvasor´s house during the polymath´s lifetime and on the history of the house that was actually owned by Valvasor.Pisatelj Janez Mencinger je bil kakor glas vpijočega v puščavi, ko je v začetku 20. stoletja s kančkom ironije ugotavljal, da so Krčani po domiselnosti prekosili stare Grke.

Hiše se je prijelo ime Valvasorjeva in je kot takšna prišla v zavest številnih rodov. Komajda pa je Mencinger mogel slutiti, da v hiši, v kateri je nazadnje prebival in umrl Valvasor, živi prav on. Danes jo skupaj s sosednjo, z njo povezano stavbo poznamo z imenom Mencingerjeva hiša. V monografiji so na podlagi analize skopih virov iz domačih in tujih arhivov predstavljene zadnje ugotovitve o historiatu obeh stavb – prave in napačne Valvasorjeve hiše.

Trubar ali Trobar? Prispevek k etimologiji in razvoju priimka Primoža Trubarja
Full text linkThis article deals with the surname of the founder of Slovenian literature,
Primož Trubar (1508–1586). All written records of the surname that appeared in Trubar’s home environment from 1482 to just before 1614 are systematically examined. The author presents the thesis that Primož Trubar did not arbitrarily introduce the vowel u in place of the original o, but that there was a phonological basis for this in the dialect of his native village of Rášica. After excluding a number of hypotheses about the etymology of the surname, the most likely source remains the verb trobiti ‘to trumpet’, which is found as an established explanation in the literature, although the author rejects the possibility that Trobar/Trubar was a vocational surname referring to a manorial trumpet player. The surname much more likely refers to some sort of physical or character-related feature. Considering that the first known bearer of the surname was a miller, it may also be a result of onomatopoeia connected with the sounds made by the mill.Razprava obravnava priimek začetnika slovenske književnosti Primoža .
Trubarja (1508–1586). Sistematično so obravnavani vsi zapisi priimka, ki se v Trubarjevem rodnem okolju pojavljajo od leta 1482 do malo pred 1614. Avtor postavlja tezo, da pisanje prvega samoglasnika kot u namesto prvotnega o ni samovoljno uvedel Primož Trubar, ampak je v govoru njegove rodne vasi Rášica zanj obstajala glasovna podlaga. Po izključitvi več hipotez o etimologiji priimka ostaja kot najverjetnejša možnost izvor iz glagola trobiti, ki ga kot uveljavljeno razlago srečujemo v literaturi, vendar avtor zavrača možnost, da bi bil Trobar/Trubar poklicni priimek s pomenom graščinskega trobca. Kognomen se veliko prej nanaša na kakšno telesno ali značajsko lastnost, glede na to, da je bil prvi znani nosilec priimka mlinar, pa bi šlo lahko tudi za onomatopejo, povezano z zvoki iz njegovega mlina
