Editing Primož Trubar (section)

==Life and work==
Trubar was born in the village of [[Rašica, Velike Lašče|Rašica]]<ref name="dlib.si">{{Cite web|url=http://www.dlib.si/v2/Preview.aspx?URN=URN:NBN:SI:DOC-EL7XWPP2|title = Digitalna knjižnica Slovenije - dLib.si}}</ref> (now in the [[Municipality of Velike Lašče]]) in the [[Duchy of Carniola]], then under the [[House of Habsburg|Habsburgs]]. In the years 1520–1521 he attended school in [[Rijeka]],<ref name="dlib.si"/> in 1522–1524 he continued his education in [[Salzburg]]. From there he went to [[Trieste]] under the tutorship of the Roman Catholic bishop [[Pietro Bonomo]], where he got in touch with the [[Renaissance humanism|Humanist]] writers, in particular [[Erasmus of Rotterdam]].<ref name="Jugoslovenski književni leksikon">{{cite book |author1=Stanko Janež |editor = Živan Milisavac |date=1971 |title=Jugoslovenski književni leksikon |trans-title=Yugoslav Literary Lexicon |publisher=[[Matica srpska]] |location= [[Novi Sad]] ([[Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina|SAP Vojvodina]], [[Socialist Republic of Serbia|SR Serbia]] |pages=543–544 }}</ref> In 1527 the bishop Pietro Bonomo assigned Trubar a priest position in [[Loka pri Zidanem Mostu]].<ref name="Jugoslovenski književni leksikon"/> In 1528 he enrolled at the [[University of Vienna]], but did not complete his studies. In 1530 he returned to the Slovenian Lands and became a preacher in [[Ljubljana]], where he lived up until 1565. While in Ljubljana, he lived in a house, on today's Fish Square (''Ribji trg''), in the oldest part of the city. Living in Ljubljana had profound impact on his work, he considered Ljubljana the capital of all [[Slovenes]] because of its central position in the heart of the [[Slovene lands]] and because its residents spoke Slovene as their first language, unlike several other towns in today's [[Slovenia]]. It is estimated that in Trubar's period around 70% of Ljubljana's 4000 inhabitants attended mass in Slovene.<ref name="Osnove Trubarjevega jezika">{{cite journal |last1=Rigler |first1=Jakob |title=Osnove Trubarjevega jezika |journal=Jezik in Slovstvo |date=1965 |volume=10 |issue=6–7}}</ref> It was the language of Ljubljana that Trubar took as a foundation of what later became standard [[Slovene language|Slovene]], with small addition of his native speech, that is [[Lower Carniolan dialect]].<ref name="Osnove Trubarjevega jezika"/> Trubar considered Ljubljana's speech most suitable, since it sounded much more noble, than his own, simple dialect of his hometown [[Rašica, Velike Lašče|Rašica]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Rigler |first1=Jakob |title=Začetki slovenskega knjižnega jezika.

He gradually leaned towards Protestantism and was expelled from [[Ljubljana]] in 1547.

In 1550, while a Protestant preacher in [[Rothenburg ob der Tauber|Rothenburg]], he wrote the first two books in Slovene, ''[[Catechismus]]'' and ''[[Abecedarium (Trubar)|Abecedarium]]'', which were then printed that year in [[Schwäbisch Hall]] by Peter Frentz.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.srl.si/sql_pdf/SRL_2013_4_01.pdf |title=Nova odkritja o slovenski protestantiki |language=sl, en|trans-title=New Discoveries About the Slovene Protestant Literature |first=Kozma |last=Ahačič |journal=Slavistična revija |volume=61 |year=2013 |issue=4 |pages=543–555}}</ref> ''Catechismus'' also contained the first Slovene musical manuscript in print.

Altogether, Trubar authored 22 books in Slovene and two books in German. He was the first to translate parts of the Bible into Slovene. After the exhortation by [[Pier Paolo Vergerio]], he translated the [[Gospel of Matthew]] in 1555 and until 1577 in three parts published the translation of the entire [[New Testament]].<ref name="dlib.si"/> In period between 1561 and 1565 Trubar was the manager and supervisor of the [[South Slavic Bible Institute]].{{Sfn|Society|1990|p=243}} Eschatologically minded, he also endeavored to proselytize Muslims in Turkey with his books.<ref>Werner Raupp (Ed.): Mission in Quellentexten.
