View through CrossRef
AbstractJanez Vajkard Valvasor (1641-1693), the famous Kreiner polyhistorian, possessed a very valuable library, which was stored in the Slovene castle of Bogenšperg. In 1690, Aleksandar Ignacije Mikulić (1650–1694), the Bishop of Zagreb, bought this priceless book collection, which also held some 7.300 graphics, and moved it to Croatia. This collection became part of the Metropolitana – the library of the Zagreb Archbishopy and is presently stored in the national archives of Croatia. Valvasor’s library heritage has been saved as a whole, the books have been professionally processed, a catalog «Bibliotheca Valvasoriana» has been published. Today, the book profession shows great interest in Valvasor as a person as well as in his work. With the new modern technology and new media access to his heritage is becoming easier for the public.
