In 1640 a convent was built for Capucin monks in Krško, a region with a strong Protestant tradition, in order to strengthen Catholicism. Subsequently the monks acquired a great deal of literature to support their preaching activities, including dogmatic and philosophical works, Latin and German Bibles with commentaries, breviaries, preaching books and commentaries. In 1986 the 300 year-old Baroque library of the Capucin Convent was opened to the public. It presents a good example of historical bibliographical method preservation; most books are in Latin, German and Italian, but a few are in Slovene.


Collections

Capucin Convent Library contains around 1,500 units dating from the 17th century, bound using a method typical of the Capucin or Franciscan order with the owner’s sign (signature) and still arranged in the alphabetical, field and format order prescribed by the catalogue of 1695 (Folios 4, 8, 12). The most precious items are Janez Svetokriški’s Sacrum Promptuarium, Father Rogerius’ Palmarium Empyreum and Schonleben’s Carniola Antiqua et Nova. The library also preserves some early Ljubljana prints from the 18th century. As the Capucin monks engaged in education and medicine, the library also contains several old books on medicine and pharmacy. Some of the library’s incunabula are stored at the National and University Library (NUK) in Ljubljana, including Dalmatin’s Bible and Valvasor’s The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola.
