The treatise deals with patron saints of academies founded in Ljubljana in the 17th and in 18th centuries. Relying on medieval tradition, they chose a patron, whose name-day was solemnly celebrated each year in the church where the academy had their own chapel, or altar, or at least the image of their patron saint. These works of art, of which only a few have been preserved, were of great significance also for the formation of the artistic taste of the noble members of these academies and, consequently, of influence in their subsequent artistic commissions for the churches they supported.
