Stjepan Konzul Istranin (1521 — after 1568) was a 16-th century protestant reformator who authored and translated religious books to Čakavian dialect. Istranin was most important Croatian language Protestant writer. Istranin was born in Buzet in 1521. At that time Buzet belonged to Habsburg Monarchy and was under jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Koper which used Old Slavonic language for liturgical texts. Istranin began his career in Stari Pazin as parish priest who wrote Glagolitic texts until 1549 when he was banished for being Protestant. Based on the advice of Primož Trubar Istranin went to Ljubljana in 1559 where Antun Dalmatin was already engaged to translate liturgical books. == South Slavic Bible Institute == The South Slavic Bible Institute was established in Urach in January 1561 by Hans von Ungnad who was its owner and patron. Within the institute Ungnad set up the printing press which he referred to as "the Slovene, Croatian and Cyrillic printing press". The manager and supervisor of the Institute was Primož Trubar. After being invited by Trubar, Istranin went to Urach where he cooperated with Antun Dalmatin who knew well Cyrillic script and who was invited to Urach to be manager of the printing press. Trubar engaged Istranin and Dalmatin as translators to Croatian and Serbian language to translate his Slovenian language translation of New Testament and print it in Latin, Glagolitic script and Cyrillic script. The types for printing of the Cyrillic script texts were molded by craftsmen from Nuremberg. The books they printed at Urach Printing House were planned to be used at entire territory populatied by South Slavs between river Soča and Black Sea. Trubar had idea to use their books to spread Protentantism among Croats and other South Slavs. Language used by Dalmatin and Istranin was based on northern-Chakavian dialect with elements of Shtokavian and Ikavian. People from the institute, including Trubar, were not satisfied with translations of Dalmatin and Istranin. For long time they tried to engage certain Dimitrije Serb to help them, but without success. Eventually, they managed to engage two Serbian Orthodox priests, Jovan Maleševac from Ottoman Bosnia and Matija Popović from Ottoman Serbia. According to a list of books kept in the University Library of Tubingen, Istranin and Dalmatin printed 25,000 books in Tubingen and Urach. The most important book they published was translation of New Testament based on the Trubar's translation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stjepan Konzul Istranin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
