SOME ANCIENT REPRESENTATIONS OF NEHAJ

ANDREJ ŽMEGAČ

Sažetak

In this article are analysed four old representations of the castle of Nehaj near Senj. Probably the oldest amongst them is a prospective drawing, which quite successfully describes the fortress. The author of the drawing was not very successful in his prospective presentation and therefore Nehaj seems like a rectangular object not as a quadrant ground plan as it is in reality. The pictures by Givanni Pieroni (1639) and Martin Stier (1657) are quite similar and they contain a cross-section and ground plan. These engineers used a certain freedom and they presented some particularities in the way of economically showing the elements which to them seemed to be the most important for Nehaj. Finally the picture from 1749 is completely and undoubtedly the most precise. Anyway there are a few failures like in the marking of oriels and they are quit unexpected for pictures of such a standard. This presentation gives a lot to precision and beauty but at the same time it is partially unreliable.
