In the last four years, the Slovene public has quite enthusiastically accepted the publication Slovenia on Military Maps from 1763 to 1787 (Josephinische Landesaufnahme 1763-1787 für das Gebiel Der Republik Slowenien) published by the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Archives of Ihe Republic of Slovenia. The publication is transliterated and translated by the Archives' workers. The head of Ihe project is Vincenc Rajšp, who also edits the individual volumes containing the maps as well as the commentaries. Undoubtedly, the maps are the better part of this extraordinary project of Ihe period of Joseph II, while ihe commentaries do not fulfil our expectations. The value of the work lies primarily in the information it provides on transport, rivers, castles, and buildings, but fails to provide enough information on the trades which were also important for Ihe army. The image of Ihe Dolenjska region as presented by the maps and text was rather bleak, as many forests were in a very poor state of maintenance and impassable, the only exception being the route Ljubljana - Nov Meets - Karlovce and certain sections of Ihe road from Novo Mesto to Zagreb.
