Bibliography of historic reports about Slovak karst

Here are listed publications with original and historical reports about research and exploration results related to the global territory of the Slovak karst , many with historical consequence. Next bibliographies of the discovery reports can be found on bibliography pages of the separate caves and list of the reports with more general and summary information is on the page Literature about Slovak karst. I note this list of books and journal articles isn't full and it can be influenced my subjective opinions. I didn't read all publications in Latin or Hungarian listed here but I stand for their importance from other citations. I will be very thankful for your advice of me on other publications about Slovak karst caves in world (particularly in English).
