Healing Earths
TRAVELS OF THE PRINCE is a narrative poem divided into five parts or Provenances. It is a fictionalized yet to some extent, parallel history told as a mythic tale, but with shadowy references to historical times, places, and events. The first part, "The Provenance of Darkness" is a kind of prehistory, the second suggests the Orient, the third, Greece, the forth, Rome, the fifth, the Modern Era. The principal characters, Prince Krishna, his friend, Baladev, (referred to as Dog, Sun, Weird), his enemy, Kaliya, (refered to as Snake, Python, Dissident) live in a timeless world in which events occur in a somewhat circular rather than linear way. The story begins when Prince Krishna, son of the Gr...

Foreign travellers in the Slovene karst (1537–1900)
Glavni namen knjige je, da bi z njo postali dostopni izvirni opisi slovenskih jam in kraških značilnosti, kakor so jih doživeli in zabeležili popotniki po slovenskem Krasu v nekaj preteklih stoletjih. V knjigi so zbrani (in mnogi tudi v obliki faksimila objavljeni) opisi 89 popotnikov. Ti opisi, objavljeni večinoma v malo znanih publikacijah znanstvenih poročil, nekateri pa tudi na novo odkriti v rokopisnih zbirkah, niso zanimivi zgolj za zgodovino raziskovanja in poznavanja krasa, temveč so obenem bogat vir za slovensko zgodovino nasploh, in še posebej za lokalno zgodovino ter zgodovino posameznih panog tedanjega gospodarstva (npr. promet in komunikacije), pa tudi za etnografsko podobo Krasa v preteklih stoletjih.

Collectors’ Knowledge: What Is Kept, What Is Discarded / Aufbewahren oder wegwerfen: wie Sammler entscheiden
Drawing on case studies from the thirteenth to the twentieth centuries, covering Europe and beyond, Collectors’ Knowledge: What is Kept, What is Discarded investigates how knowledge was acquired, organized and sometimes lost. It examines collections of texts and objects—libraries, textbooks, miscellanies, commonplace books, data collections pertaining to historical events, encyclopedias, royal and ducal treasures, curiosity cabinets, galleries and museums—to uncover the processes of accumulation, organization, selection and rejection that have shaped learning. The essays emphasize the complex relationship between the intentions of collectors and the limitations they encountered—issue...
The Science of Naples
Long neglected in the history of Renaissance and early modern Europe, in recent years scholars have revised received understanding of the political and economic significance of the city of Naples and its rich artistic, musical and political culture. Its importance in the history of science, however, has remained relatively unknown. The Science of Naples provides the first dedicated study of Neapolitan scientific culture in the English language. Drawing on contributions from leading experts in the field, this volume presents a series of studies that demonstrate Neapolitans’ manifold contributions to European scientific culture in the early modern period and considers the importance of the c...
