Nebehay/W. 766. - "Baron Johann Weichert Valvasor realised his country was very little known abroad, and he set out to present it in words and pictures, writing descriptions of Carniola, Carinthia and Istria, and setting up a copper engraving and printing workshop at Bogensperk . Here he wrote two of his most famous works in 1679 the "Topographia ductatus Carniolae modernae", an album of 320 engravings of towns, market towns, monasteries and castles in Carniola, with an index in both German and Slovenian. The second was The Glory [in Praise] of the Duchy of Carniola (Die Ehre dess Hertzogthums Crain) originally written in German and published in Nuremberg in 1689. This was the first systematic overview of the history, territory and way of life of Carniola and nearby regions". (royalsociety-org). - Es fehlt die S. 1/2. - Unbeschnitten.
