The monastery has very valuable
library, which was founded in 1627. It is one of the oldest in Slovenia.
The library has over 10.000 old fasciscles and at least 25 incunabula (from
1450 to 1500).
The library has also about three
thousand books from the 17th and 18th century. Among
incunabula are also the complete Bible of Jurij Dalmatin (1584) , Pentateuch
(1578) and the first edition of "Slava vojvodine Kranjske" - J.W. Valvasor.
Pentateuch worths special mention, as there are only six copies in the
world. The library surely belongs among the greatest historic and cultural
treasures of the world.
