 | | This undertaking was the work of Protestant writer and theologian Jurij Dalmatin (*Krško, Slovenia, about 1547, + Ljubljana, Slovenia 1589), and served to establish the pinnacle of Slovenian Protestant literature, as well as to mark a unique milestone on the historical path of Slovenian cultural development. |
 | | Dalmatin completed the translation in approximately ten years, of course without any previous formal Slovenian education, without any grammar book and without dictionaries. |
 | | For this very reason the translation is worthy of great admiration, providing at the same time a supreme example of the great importance of the national language and books printed in this language for what was then the most widespread use, that is, for the church. |
