The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola

Concerned that foreigners did not know his region well enough, he undertook the presentation of Carniola in words and pictures, installing a copperplate workshop at his Bogenšperk Castle near Litija[?] and publishing collections of his work. Written in German, The Glory of the Duchy of Carniola was published in 1689 in 15 volumes, lavishly illustrated with 528 copperplate[?] engravings. It is an encyclopedia of natural history, Slovene customs and folklore, history, and the topography of a region that makes up a large part of present-day Slovenia.
