The complexity of towns gives them special status as receptacles of knowledge of the cultural heritage of a particular area. By establishing the relations between towns and their respective relations to the country, Valvasor's perception of space proves to be topological. Towns are described according to a more or less established scheme of perception. Valvasor's plain description of space as such is connected to the historical data or events, which imports the aspect of time into the image of an area. This work is based on the spatial principle, with dimension of time included. As a rule, towns are described from the perspective of an outside observer, while the capital is presented from the so-called insider's perspective. The numerous copper engravings added to the work represent a substantial contribution to the reputation of Carniola. As visual elements, cityscapes can serve as significant supplements to the text, or may even replace itTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZnanstvena založba Filozofske fakultete
