V. 1.01 Izvirni znanstveni članek Prejeto: 29. 9. 2014 Boris Golec* Polihistor brez univerzitetne izobrazbe – regularno šolanje Janeza Vajkarda Valvasorja A polymath without a university education – the regular schooling of Janez Vajkard Valvasor Izvleček O šolanju kranjskega polihistorja Janeza Vaj- karda Valvasorja (1641–1693) vemo le toliko, kolikor je v spominskih utrinkih izpričal sam v Slavi vojvodine Kranjske (1689). Otroštvo je večidel preživel na Valvasorjevem rodbin- skem gradu Medija pri Izlakah, že prvega šolskega pouka pa bi bil lahko deležen v rodni Ljubljani. Edina sodobna omemba Valvasorja kot dijaka šestletne jezuitske gimnazije v Lju- bljani – najverjetneje jo je obiskoval v letih 1653–59 – je iz leta 1659, ko je bil sprejet v Marijino kongregacijo. Kot dijak ni prebival v konviktu, temveč zasebno, zelo verjetno pri polbratu Karlu, in sicer nedaleč od mestne tehtnice na Starem trgu. Po končani gimnaziji se Valvasor ni odpravil na univerzitetni študij, temveč na dolgotrajno mladostno potovanje, na neke vrste »življenjsko univerzo«. Skrom- ni podatki o njegovem šolanju so v prispevku umeščeni v širši kontekst izobraževanja na Kranjskem sredi 17. stoletja. Abstract All we know about the education of the Car- niolan polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641–1693) is what is included in the pas- sages on this subject included in his Glory of the Duchy of Carniola (1689). He spent most of his childhood at the family castle of Medija near Izlake, but he may have received his first education in Ljubljana, where he was born. The only contemporary mention of Val- vasor as a student at the six-year long Jesuit grammar school in Ljubljana – most likely he attended this school between 1653 and 1659 – is from 1659, when he was accepted into Mary’s Congregation. He did not board at the school, but most probably stayed with his half-brother Karl, not far from the town weighing scales on the square Stari trg. Af- ter finishing grammar school, Valvasor did not go to university, but on a long journey, attending the “university of life”. The article combines the modest data about Valvasor’s education with the wider context of education in Carniola in the mid-17th century.
