Due to lack of qualified doctors, folk medicine developed in Škofja Loka surroundings. Healers were self-taught persons with own experience. Throughout the 19th century and after, they could learn from manuscripts on folk medicine. The majority of those manuscripts are preserved in Škofja Loka and its surroundings, and in the surroundings of Rovte. These books are transcripted from healer books of folk medicine practitioners by Pavle Lipič who wrote books in 1819, and those of Anton Košenina written in 1830. Both practitioners lived near Škofja Loka, the former in Bodovlje and the latter in Puštal. Transcriptions of their books are in the possession of their current owner and a smaller number is kept in the National and University Library. Nine articles on the topic of folk medicine and handwritten books of healers have been hitherto published in Loški razgledi. Two contributions on the books that were brought to the author’s attention in 2017 are underway.
