| KRATKA VSEBINA | Namen: prispevek na kratko povzema pomen knjigza meništvo, posebej še svetih knjig, ki so se jih mnogi menihi naučili skoraj v celoti na pamet. Knjige so bile osnova za gradnjo in pomoč k rastiv duhovnosti posameznika in kot take velikokrat tudi del redovnih Vodil samostanskih (torej meniških) skupnosti. menihom v samostanu so omogočale delo (labora), namenjene so bile za cerkev in bogoslužje (ora), predvsem paso bile namenjene študiju v samoti celice ali knjižnici. In v samostanih srednjeveške in novoveške Evrope ni smelo manjkati bogato založene knjižnice. Študiju so bile namenjene tudi knjige iz Ljubljanske frančiškanske knjižnice, ki je bila v času Žiga Škerpina (18. stoletje) enavečjih v Ljubljani. Metodologija/pristop: prispevek predvsem povezuje teoretična izhodišča s podajanjem praktičnih znanj in izkušenj. Pomembno sovključena tudi redovna Vodila. Rezultati: fond Ljubljanske frančiškanske knjižnice še vedno narašča, odprto pa ostaja vprašanje njene prihodnosti, saj se obiski bralcev vedno bolj redčijo. Kot tisk ni uničil rokopisne dediščine, tako tudi digitalizacija ne bo klasičnih oblik knjige in knjižnic, vendar pa bo potrebno spremeniti pogled nanje, če hočemo ohranitiknjižnico pri življenju. Obstaja nekaj možnosti rešitve, predvsem v novih oblikah knjižnic, kot je na primer sprememba namena v muzejsko knjižnico ali raziskovalni laboratorij. Omejitve raziskave: Ker gre za krajši oris problematike, je pričujoči prispevek le uvod v morebitno natančnejšo in bolj poglobljeno študijo mesta in vloge samostanske knjižnice v današnjem času. Potrebne bi bile sinhrone in diahrone študije posameznih knjižnic različnih redov na Slovenskem in analitična primerjava rezultatov, da bi dobili zanesljivejše zaključke. Izvirnost/uporabnost raziskave: avtor opozarja na pomembno kulturno problematiko, ki ji je v bibliotekarskih in drugih znanstvenih krogih namenjeno premalo pozornosti. // Purpose: The contribution briefly summarizes the importance of books for monasticism, especially the sacred books, which monks learned very often almost entirelyby heart. Books had an important role for the support of individual spiritual growth and as such were often also a part of the orders´ Rules. In monasteries books enabled work to monks (labora); they were intended forthe church and worship (ora); but most of all they were intended for study in the solitude of the cell or in the library. And the monasteries of medieval and early modern Europe could not miss the richly stocked libraries. In the Franciscan friary in Ljubljana books were also used for studies. Their library was one of the largest at the time of Sigismund Škerpin (18th century) in Ljubljana. Methodology/approach: the contributionsummarizes particular theoretical frameworks, linking them to practical knowledge and experience. The monastic Rules are also included. Results: tuday the stock of the Ljubljana Franciscan monastery library is still rising, but the question of its future remains open as the number of its readers and visitors declines. Of course, as manuscript heritage was not destroyed by the print revolution, so the digitization will not end the traditional forms of books and libraries, but in the future it will be necessary to change the overall perspective if we want to keep the library alive. There are some possibilities transforming the nowadays monastic libraries into new forms with the change of the purpose of the libraries into museums or research laboratories. Research limitations: since this is only a short outline of the issues monastic libraries have, the present contribution can be seen as an introduction to a possible more indepth study, which would enlighten their current state. Synchronic and diachronicstudies of individual libraries of various orders in Slovenia are requiredwith analytical comparison of obtained results in order to get reliable conclusions. Originality/practical implications: the author draws attentionto an important cultural issue, which is partly ignored by librarians and other scientific communities. |
