Clare, which had been operating in Carniola: Mekinje near Kamnik, Škofja Loka and Ljubljana. The

used different signets for sealing of the documents in legal and business life, which guaranteed
greater authenticity and legal validity of the written texts. The convents of Mekinje and Škofja Loka
have the oldest preserved signets from the 14th century, thus from the earliest period of their
existence. In the 60's of the 17th century, thus already soon after its establishment, the convent of
Ljubljana had its signet as well. Up till now only three signets of Mekinje convent and two of Škofja
Loka convent have been dealt with in the professional literature — all three from the Middle Ages; a

preserved signets from the convents that were dealt with are introduced, and in the end a fewfindings
