Previously unknown in Carniola preserved books of the Volf's, later Ljubljanian "Prince's" Trust Library were found. Just the scientific part of the library was examined by using Count Volf Engelbert Auersperg's manuscript catalogue (1668) transcribed in 1762 and sales catalogues (1982-1983). Carniolan libraries preserved six scientific books from the former Ljubljanian "Prince's" Trust Collection. Most of them are at Ljubljanian National and University Library. Last but not least, several Volf's medicine books are kept in private collections of Slovenian owners. The examined part of Volf's collection covered just a tenth of his 7000 titles. Therefore many other Volf's books should have remained in his native country, which is put at the limelight for the first time to attract other researches interested in Slovenian Library and Science History. Former Volf's books could be identified with characteristic Schönleben's manuscript bookplates. The "life paths" of some discovered Ljubljanian "Prince's" Trust Library books were described to show how Carniolans succeeded to keep them at home. Some items with bookplate of Wolf Engelbert Auersperg were found in Library of National Museum and in Provincial Museum of Kočevje. It is claimed that those were not a part of Governor General Count Wolf Engelbert Auersperg (* 1610) and his descendants' library, but rather a part of the former collection of Wolf's cousin's son, hereditary Marshal of Carniola Wolf Engelbert Auersperg (* 1641).
