I suppose it is worth revisiting this manuscript, because two things in it could be related to the region of the present day Slovenia:
In Ormož (near Celje) there was a third oldest farmacy in Europe, after Paris and Dubrovnik. It was founded after VM had been written, though. However, the nearby Sieitz (Žiče) Charterhouse, which served as the Grand Carthusia while the pope was in Avignon, had well known pharmacy and second largest library in Europe at the time. Its prior at the time was Stefan Macone from Siena. It is possible they also had works of Hermanus of Carinthia (a 12th century writer) who spent some time in the Middle East and upon returning settled in Spain, where he translated Arabic works, and from there he went to France.
The monks and craftsmen were brought from Palestine (or maybe from Armenia) to build the church at Ptujska Gora (near Celje).
There was a strong Jewish community in Ptuj in the medieval times.
The Students from Slovenian region were attending the Padua university before the Vienna University was founded. (More about this can be found on my last post where I explore the possible co-authors of the VM.
Welfs were definitely related to Carinthia, since they were their dukes. In Koper, a swallow tale merlons can still be seen on the building, and the square on are still seen on the castle of the Counts of Celje in Celje.
Welfs I was the son of Conrad of Auxerre. Both of these names can be related to Slovenian language: Conrad in Slovenian means : hores + like - the lover of horses. The region around Lake Constance was populated by the germanizes Slavic people. In the second half of the 15th century, the Slovenian Thomas Preloka of Celje was a bishop of Constance and the prince of the Palatine. Prior, he was also teaching Frederic's son (future HR Emperor Maximillian) Slovenian language. It is believed he also wrote Slovenian Grammar book and a dictionary.
