Frančiškan Franciscus de Clugia (Francesco di Chioggia), inkvizitor zoper heretično izprijenost v Benečiji in Furlaniji je ugotovil določene zmote v oglejski diecezi in je v »slovesni pridigi« v Čedadu oznanil križarsko,vojno in pozval vernike, naj po­ magajo.1 Nekateri prelati, duhovniki in redovniki so mu bili v pomoč. Sli so, me brez osebne nevarnosti, vse do kraja Kobarida, v isti škofiji, kjer so med gorami nešteti Slovani častili neko drevo in studenec, ki je bil pri koreninah drevesa, kot boga, izkazujoč ustvarjeni stvari češčenje, ki se po veri dolguje stvarniku«.2 Drevo so s pomočjo omenjenih dali popolnoma izruvati, studenec pa s kamni zasuti. Li­ stino, v kateri je vse to popisano in ki jè tudi edini vir za to križarsko vojno, je izdal 16. avgusta 1331 v Vidmu (Udine) sam inkvizitor Franciscus3 v pohvalo in priznanje udeležencu pohoda, oglejskemu kanoniku Ulriku Bojanu iz Čedada, ki je bil tedaj župnik šmartinske fare pri Kranju. Vladimir Leveč jo je v začetku tega stoletja našel v čedajskem kapiteljskem arhivu, v zbirki plemiške družine Boiano (Boiani).4 Simon Rutar je omenil del tega dogodka v Zgodovinskih črticah o Bovškem, objavljenih v Soči.5 Zveza je razumljiva, ker so Bovčani v veliki večini s Kobaridci, zlasti Kotarji tja do Breginja in po Soči še do Volč imeli istega zemljiškega gospoda v Rožacu. Rutar je napisal, da je krščanstvo, ki so ga širili oglejski patriarhi s po­ močjo čedajske duhovščine, »po naših gorah jako polagoma napredovalo.

  • JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK 2The Julian Alps
    1 JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK www.slovenia.info 2The Julian Alps The Julian Alps are the southeast- ernmost part of the Alpine arc and at the same time the mountain range that marks the border between Slo- venia and Italy. They are usually divided into the East- ern and Western Julian Alps. The East- ern Julian Alps, which make up approx- imately three-quarters of the range and cover an area of 1,542 km2, lie entirely on the Slovenian side of the border and are the largest and highest Alpine range in Slovenia. The highest peak is Triglav (2,864 metres), but there are more than 150 other peaks over 2,000 metres high. The emerald river Soča rises on one side of the Julian Alps, in the Primorska re- gion; the two headwaters of the river Sava – the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka – rise on the other side, in the Gorenjska region. The Julian Alps – the kingdom of Zlatorog According to an ancient legend a white chamois with golden horns lived in the mountains. The people of the area named him Zlatorog, or “Goldhorn”. He guarded the treasures of nature. One day a greedy hunter set off into the mountains and, ignoring the warnings, tracked down Zlatorog and shot him. Blood ran from his wounds Chamois The Triglav rose and fell to the ground. Where it landed, a miraculous plant, the Triglav rose, sprang up. Zlatorog ate the flowers of this plant and its magical healing powers made him invulnerable. At the same time, however, he was saddened by the greed of human beings.
