Documentary film: Valvasor's Glory
Valvasor’s The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola, first published in the distant year of 1689 and now translated into Slovenian, is an exceptional historical publication highly regarded across all fields of science, from natural sciences to humanities and social sciences. The third book of The Glory is particularly rich in illustrations and content that appeals to a broader audience, making it widely used. A copy of this work, heavily worn and damaged over the centuries, was entrusted for restoration to the Center for the Conservation and Restoration of Written and Graphic Heritage at the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia.
The broadcast, authored by Jadran Sterle and Tugo Štiglic in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Jedert Vodopivec Tomažič from the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia, delves into the fascinating discoveries of the material aspects of The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola, explores the technical background of its creation, and demonstrates how such a priceless book can be restored.
