Rasp's book of forms was intended for transeripts of deeds that were to be used as samples for the later drawing up of similar documents. It was named after two members of the Carniolan noble family Rasp and included a number of German and Latin documents as well as 14 texts in Slovene. The Slovene texts may be divided inlo five categories of administrative texts and two of these categories, i. e. proclamation of excommunication and an oath in relation to reasons against entering into marriage, have up to now never been documented in the Slovene language. Thus, the book as such is a treasury of the Slovene administrative texts of the 17th and the first half of the 18th centuries since Slovene administrative records for that particular period are very rare. The book clearly demonstrates narrow choice of the categories of the administrative texts that at the time were created in Slovene and were almost exclusively meant for public oral use such as taking oaths and making public announcements. As to their linguistic and alphabetic characteristics, the texts display disunity typical for the time of their creation.
