Zgodovinska pričevalna vrednost anonimnih pisem o dogajanju v Ljubljani med prvo francosko okupacijo (1797). (Slovenian)

An anonymous text, published by Ljubljana’s publisher Wilhelm Heinrich Korn in 1797, recounts in German dialect the events of the first French occupation of Carniola—and specifically of its capital—in epistolary form. This paper aims to highlight the value of the letters as historical testimony and to provide an analysis of their content and style, emphasizing above all the perspective embraced by their author. The analysis shows that the lively discourse developed by the anonymous citizen from Ljubljana shifts between empathy for his fellow citizens, who experienced severe hardship, and an ironic attitude towards the occupiers; he avoids, however, celebrating the former and condemning the latter with words that may acquire an explicit political value.

Anonimno besedilo, ki ga je leta 1797 izdal ljubljanski založnik Viljem Henrik Korn, v epistolarni obliki (v nemškem narečju) pripoveduje o dogodkih v času prve francoske okupacije Kranjske in posebej o tem, kar se je dogajalo v njeni prestolnici. Prispevek želi poudariti zgodovinsko pričevalno vrednost teh pisem ter podati njihovo vsebinsko in slogovno analizo, predvsem pa poudariti perspektivo, ki jo je zavzel njihov avtor. Analiza kaže, da se živahen diskurz, ki ga razvija anonimni Ljubljančan, giblje med empatijo do sodržavljanov v hudi stiski in ironičnim odnosom do okupatorjev; izogiba pa se slavljenju prvih in obsojanju drugih z besedami, ki bi lahko imele eksplicitno politično vrednost.
