Historična topografija Kranjske (do 1500). Tretja dopolnjena izdaja

The first volume in the new series of historical-topographical handbooks covers the territory of the Duchy of Carniola up to the year 1500. It includes 4,152 Carniolan toponyms—villages, hamlets, market towns, cities, castles, manors, field and water names, and others—along with their historical variants as attested in sources up to 1500 (such as charters, urbaria, feudal, accounting, notarial, and cartulary records). The entries are arranged alphabetically, and each historical form of a name is accompanied by the date of its attestation, a reference to the source in which it appears, the location of the source (archive, library, etc.), and, when applicable, its publication reference. The corpus as a whole contains over 39,221 historical variants of Carniolan geographical names (paleonyms).

The work is based on 123 documented charter collections from 62 archives and over 370 codices and manuscripts from Slovenian, Austrian, Italian, Croatian, Hungarian, German, and Czech archives and libraries.

Together with an accompanying online application linked to a digital map (http://topografija.zrc-sazu.si/), the handbook will be of great interest not only to specialists in various disciplines (historians, geographers, archaeologists, ethnologists, linguists, etc.) but also to local historians and history enthusiasts.
