Description
The author begins his article with an outline of the
excellent support in the area of Archivistics and Seminar
work provided to the lecturers by Ema Umek at the History
Department of the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana. With
her expert knowledge of the Vienna Archives and fonds,
Ema Umek gave useful advice on countless occasions to
numerous historians-researchers for their work in these
archives. The author himself had also received a number
of shell-mark numbers which proved extremely useful to
him during his work in the Vienna Kriegsarchiv. These
were in fact instrumental in his finding an interesting and
until (hen unknown document from the 18th century
containing the views of a number of military experts of
that time on the Turkish threat. The author then goes on
to describe the document, which is an excerpt from a
report submitted to the Doge of the Republic of Venice
by Marshal Schuilcnburg. The report, which is written in
Italian, discusses the defence of Istria and the Venetian
Republic itself against the Turks. It depicts the life of
Johann Mathias Schuilcnburg, who was born in Saxony
in 1661 in Emden. As a young man, Schuilcnburg
decided to pursue a career in the military, which led him
to fight on various European battlefields. Hollowing a
recommendation by Prince Eugen of Savoy,
Schuilcnburg was appointed commander-in-chief of the
Venetian army in 1715.
He defended the island of Krf against occupation by
the Turks, thus thwarting their plans to advance further
north into the Adriatic Sea. Schuilcnburg remained loyal
to the Venetian Republic until his death in Verona in 1747.
In a memorandum addressed to the Doge of Venice
presented by the author in this adaptation/translation,
Schuilcnburg advises the Doge to fortify the harbour of
Pula, as, in his opinion, this harbour was one of the best
strategic points of defence in Istria. Schuilcnburg states
that the fortified harbour would ensure the defence of
Venice's estates in Istria against attacks by the Turks and
the Austrians. and thus fortified, may even serve as a
bulwark against the Turkish attacks on Venice itself. With
the publication of this document, the author wishes to
bring to our attention the rich heritage of Schuilcnburg
which is preserved in the National Archives of Venice.

- V prispevku avtor oriše uspešno vključitev Eme Umek v pedagoški proces na Oddelku za zgodovino na Filozofski fakulteti v Ljubljani v okviru predmeta Arhivistika in proseminarju. Ema Umek je kot odlična poznavalka dunajskih arhivov in njihovih fondov nesebično dajala koristne nasvete številnim raziskovalcem zgodovinarjem za delo v teh arhivih. Tudi avtor prispevka je dobil od nje več zelo uporabnih Signatur za delo v Kriegsarchivu na Dunaju. Tako je naletel na zanimiv in doslej neznan dokument, ki prikazuje, kako so na turško nevarnost gledali nekateri vojaški strokovnjaki v 18. stoletju. Predstavljeni dokument je izvleček poročila maršala Schullenburga beneškemu dožu. Poročilo le-to je v italijanščini, je pisano v zvezi z obrambo Istre in samih Benetk pred turškim napadom. V njem je prikazana življenska pot Johanna Mathie Schulleburga, rojenega leta 1661 v Enidu na Saškem. Ko seje Schullenburg odločil za vojaško kariero, seje bojeval na raznih bojiščih v Evropi. Po priporočilu princa Evgena Savojskega je leta 1715 prevzel poveljstvo nad beneško vojsko. Zaslužen je za obrambo otoka Krfa pred turško zasedbo, s čimer je preprečil nadaljnje prodiranje Turkov v jadranski prostor. Beneški republiki je ostal zvest do smrti. Umrl je leta 1747 v Veroni. V spomenici, naslovljeni na beneškega doža, ki jo avtor predstavi v prirejenem slovenskem prevodu, Schullenburg svetuje, da bi morali utrditi puljsko luko, eno najboljših obrambnih točk v Istri. S tem bi zavarovali beneško posest v Istri pred napadi Turkov in Avstrijcev ter preprečili napad Turkov na same Benetke. Z objavo lega dokumenta namerava avtor opozoriti na bogato Schullenburgovo zapuščino, ki jo hranijo v državnem arhivu v Benetkah.
