His life and work

Trubar was born in the village Rašica4 (now in the Velike Lašče municipality) in the Duchy of Carniola, then under the Habsburgs. In the years 1520–1521 he attended school in Rijeka5, 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 Humanist writers, in particular Erasmus of Rotterdam. In 1528 he enrolled at the University of Vienna, but did not complete his studies. In 1530 he returned to the Slovene Lands and became a preacher. He gradually leaned towards the Protestantism and was in 1547 expelled from Ljubljana.

While a Protestant preacher in Rothenburg, Germany, he wrote first two books in Slovene, Catechismus and Abecedarium, which were published in 1550 in Tübingen, Germany6. In the following years, he authored around 25 more books in Slovenian; the most important of them is the translation of the complete New Testament, which he started while living in Kempten im Allgäu7.

Trubar died on 28 June 1586 in Derendingen, Germany (now part of the city of Tübingen), where he is also buried.

In 1986, the Slovenian television produced a TV series, directed by Andrej Strojan with the screen play written by Drago Jančar, in which Trubar was played by the Slovenian actor Polde Bibič.

An exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Primož Trubar, and the achievements of the Slovenian Reformation Movement is on display at the National Museum of Slovenia, 6 March – 31 December 2008.

The Trubar Forum [2] has printed Trubar's Catechism and Abecedarium (1550) in modern Slovene, in a scholarly edition that includes both the Trubar-era Slovene and the modern Slovene translation with scholarly notes. The "Sermon on Faith", a portion of the Catechism, is available in modern Slovene, English, German and Esperanto. Samples of all of these important works can be seen on the Trubar Forum website. [3]

Commemoration

Due to the anniversary of 500 years since Trubar's birth, the year 2008 was proclaimed the Year of Primož Trubar by the Government of Slovenia and the anniversary was widely celebrated throughout the country.8 A €2 commemorative coin9 and a postage stamp had been issued.1011 Starting in 2011, 8 June is commemorated in Slovenia as the Primož Trubar Day (according to some sources, this is the day of his birth).12
