Primoz Trubar

Primož Trubar was a Slovene Protestant Reformer of the Lutheran tradition, known as the author of the first Slovene language printed book. He was the founder and the first superintendent of the Protestant Church of the Duchy of Carniola and played a significant role in consolidating the Slovenian language. Trubar introduced The Reformation in Slovenia, leading the Austrian Habsburgs to wage the Counter-Reformation. Despite the challenges, a small Protestant community survived, and Trubar's influence remained significant in Slovenian history and culture.
