Medieval Manuscripts

Codices, handwritten books from the period before invention of the printing press, are valuable and rare library materials. Many of them are rich in colorful illuminated details. The National and University Library of Slovenia stores 122 codices, which were created between the late antiquity and the modern times.

Plečnik’s Notebooks

In collaboration with the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana, we wish to present 42 digitized notebooks and sketchbooks of the architect Jože Plečnik (1872-1957), which are kept by the Plečnik House. These materials give an insight into the architect's all-round interest in visual creation.

Balthasar Hacquet (c. 1739–1815)

Balthasar Hacquet worked as a physician, a military and mine surgeon, and also as a lecturer at the Ljubljana Lyceum and at the midwifery school. Alongside his professional work, Hacquet dedicated himself to the research of geological, botanical, geographical and ethnographic characteristics of today's Slovenian territory, which he described in his Oryctographia Carniolica. He was also a member of the Zois circle.
