Adam Bohorič

Adam Bohorič

Adam Bohorič (born c. 1520 - November 20 1598) was a Slovene Protestant preacher, teacher and author of the first grammar of the Slovene language.

Bohorič was born in the market town of Rajhenburg (now known as Brestanica) in the Duchy of Carniola, on the border between Lower Carniola and Lower Styria (now in Slovenia). In 1584, he wrote his most important work, "Articae horulae succisivae". This book, written in Latin, is in fact the first grammar of the Slovene language and also the first Slovene orthography. In this work Bohorič set rules for the first Slovene alphabet - called the Bohorič alphabet ( _sl. bohoričica), which was used up to the 1840s, when it was replaced by the "gajica".
