1. The Pre−Enlightenment Formation of the Emerging Modern Scientific Episteme and Building Community from Mythical DiscoursePolona Tratnik, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The pre-Enlightenment scholars from the Land of Carniola explored the region, its past, sociality and nature in order to give it praise. They aimed to produce knowledge based on rational reasoning in accordance with the emerging modern scientific episteme. They encountered mythical discourse which they attempted to overcome, yet, as the author of this article argues, they also drew from mythical discourse. Through case studies the author shows how ancient myths played a role in consolidating identity and building community. She argues that pre-Enlightenment scholars built collective memory in reference to the mythological establishment of the city of Ljubljana.

2. Duelling in the Habsburg Hereditary Lands, 1600–1750 : Between Law and PracticeMatjaž Grahornik, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The article focuses on duelling in the Habsburg hereditary lands, with an emphasis on Styria. It presents around fifteen cases of duels that have been fought or provoked, from 1643 to 1750. In the Habsburg hereditary lands and in the Holy Roman Empire in general, duelling flourished during and after the Thirty Years’ War, and thrived between 1660 and 1730. Anti-duelling decrees prescribed fines and sometimes imprisonment, and the death penalty in homicide cases. Duels continued despite strict bans (also) because sanctions were generally not enforced, and if the ‘criminal’ was brought to court, he was almost always pardoned by the Emperor. In practice, the death penalty for duellists was an extraordinary event, since even trials were exceptional, including cases when duels resulted in deaths.

3. Enmity After the Feud : Violence and Its Control in Inner Austria, 1500–1750Žiga Oman, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Centring on non-nobles in the Duchies of Styria, Carniola and Carinthia, this paper addresses dispute settlement in Inner Austria, following the Imperial prohibition of feud in 1495 and the Habsburgs’ local consolidation of power earlier in the century. These developments are said to have brought about an end to feuding in the duchies in the 1500s, but by focusing on the concept of enmity, which articulated the same state of social relations, this article presents ample evidence that among all social classes dispute settlement retained much of the traditional practices well into the 1700s. Their survival was instrumentally underpinned by various courts of law and local authorities, regarding them as an indispensable element of keeping social cohesion and peace.

4. Ten years after the new Agrarian Communities Act: The status of agrarian communities in Upper CarniolaMateja Šmid Hribar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Slovenia has a centuries-old tradition of managing common land, yet the state of agrarian communities at the national level remains poorly researched. This article highlights the historical development, current challenges, and status of agrarian communities in Northern and Central Upper Carniola in 2025. The analysis shows that 52 agrarian communities (48.1%) are active in the area, whereas for 56 communities (51.9%) it remains unclear whether they still operate. This draws attention to the scarcity of available data on the status of agrarian communities. Spatial analysis within Triglav National Park reveals that common land accounts for 23% of the park’s area, 23% of the Natura 2000 sites within the park, 25% of quiet zones, and 32% of the park’s protective forests, and it includes a significant proportion of valuable natural features and nature reserves. The management of common land plays an important role in preserving biodiversity and the Alpine cultural landscape. This should be taken into account when developing appropriate financial mechanisms and compensation schemes to ensure fairer management of the benefits that agrarian communities provide to the wider society through common land.

5. Cucujus cinnaberinus (Scopoli, 1763) at its terra typica in Slovenia : historical overview, distribution patterns and habitat selectionAl Vrezec, Špela Ambrožič Ergaver, Andrej Kobler, Andrej Kapla, Maarten De Groot, 2017, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The saproxylic beetle, Cucujus cinnaberinus, has received increasing research attention in Europe since the adoption of the Habitats Directive and establishment of the Natura 2000 network. The history of the species has been investigated as well as the influence of abiotic and biotic variables on the distribution of C. cinnaberinus in Slovenia which is at the limit of its range and also terra typica for the species. The species was first described in 1763 by Joannes A. Scopoli in Carniola, a duchy of the Habsburg Monarchy. Today, most of the territory of Carniola is situated within Slovenia. C. cinnaberinus is particularly common in the eastern part of the country, but very scarce in the mountainous western part. According to historical and recent distribution patterns of C. cinnaberinus in the former Carniolan territory, the region of Ribnica-Kočevje in southern Slovenia is proposed as the most probable type locality of the species. Although the bulk of the C. cinnaberinus population in Slovenia is confined to the lowlands, the species has been found up to 1095 m a.s.l., albeit at a much lower abundance due to the influence of climate and forest structure. Although C. cinnaberinus is a quite an opportunistic species regarding host tree selection, it has been shown to exhibit a preference for Tilia, Populus and Robinia. It is suspected that the high abundance of C. cinnaberinus in lowland floodplain forests is due to the recent human-induced increase in preferred fast-growing and short-lived host trees, i.e. the planting of poplar trees and spread of invasive Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) after the 1960s. In contrast, in montane forests, preferred host trees (e.g. Tilia) represent < 1 % of all growing stock. Although montane C. cinnaberinus populations are rare, they could still be important for the conservation of the species, since montane habitats cover the largest area within the species’ distribution range.
