1693

According to the historical section of the Slovenska Akademija Znanosti in Umetnosti (SAZU) = Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts website
(), the origins of SAZU were traced back to the Jesuit theology and philosophy schools of the 16th century and the Academia Operosorum [Academy of the Laborious], founded in Ljubljana in 1693.

According to the an older version of the historical section of the Ljubljana site: "In 1693 a scientific academy, the Academia operosorum Labacensis, was founded. It was modelled on Italian scientific academies, and among other things, gave an incentive for the building of the first public library. Academia operosorum which associated theologists, lawyers, physicians and philosophers, was merged with Academia incoltorum (for the fine arts) and Academia philharmonicorum in 1701."

According to the historical section of the SAZU website, “The Academia operosorum discontinued its activities approximately in 1725” and was revived in 1779, but ceased before the end of the 18th century. The SAZU was not founded until 1938.
