Schönleben was a well-known rhetorician and some of his speeches were also published. He was important in theology as a proponent of the Immaculate Conception. As a historian, he wrote a series of genealogies of Carniolan noble families. His most important work was Carniolia antiqua et nova (Carniola Old and New; Ljubljana, 1681). He was the teacher of Johann Weikhard von Valvasor.Palladino, Irmgard, & Maria Bidovec. 2008. Johann Weichard von Valvasor (1641–1693): Ein Protagonist der Wissenschaftsrevolution der Frühen Neuzeit.
