Razsvetljenci med prvimi biografi Primoža Trubarja

Jović, Pavle (author), Osolnik, Vladimir (author)

Zaradi luteranskega prepričanja Primož Trubar dolgo med svojimi rojaki ni imelne biografije ne bibliografije. Razsvetljenstvo je prineslo novo razumevanje in vrednotenje dosežkov protestantskih piscev. V tem času so nastale prve biografije posvečene Primožu Trubarju, ki so bile najprej objavljene v delih enciklopedijskega značaja. Njihovi avtorji so francoski, nemški, angleški, češki in slovaški razsvetljenci, ki so bili večinoma protestanti: Pierre Bayle (Dictionnaire historique et critique, Rotterdam 1702,); Johann Georg Schelhorn (Amoenitates literariae, Frankfurt, Lepzig 1728); Archibald Bower (Historia Litteraria, London 1731); David Clement (Biblioteque curieuse historique et critique: Göttingen, Hannover, Leipzig 1750-1760); Alexander Chalmers (The General Biographical Dictionary, London 1761); Christian Friedrich Schnurrer (Slavischer Bücherdruck in Würtemberg im 16. Jahrhundert, Tübingen 1799); Josef Dobrovsky (Slavin, Praha 1808); Pavel Josef Šafarik (Geschichte der windischen Sprache und Literatur, Budim 1826). Slovenski razsvetljenci Žiga Zois, Valentin Vodnik in Janez Nepomuk Primic so prvi obnovili spomin na evangeličanskega reformatorja Primoža Trubarja. Janez Nepomuk Primic je kot prvi med Slovenci objavil širši Trubarjev življenjepis leta 1814. Razsvetljenci so odločno prispevali k temu, da se je v širšem evropskem prostoru ohranilo delo znamenitega Slovenca.

Abstract

The paper deals the first biographers of Slovene protestant reformer Primož Trubar (1508-1586) in the period of Enlightenment (1702-1826). The Age of Enlightenment introduced a more rational understanding of Reformation and protestant writers. Primož Trubar had not been recognized for long a time among the Slovenes. Trubar's first biographer was French philosopher Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) who was real founder of historical criticism and intellectual father of the Enlightenment historians. In 1702 he wrote short biography of Primož Trubar and published it in his the most popular work Dictionnaire historique et critique, (Rotterdam 1702), which was forerunner of French encyclopedias. During the 18th century about Trubar's life and work wrote Enghtenment thinkers from different nations such as: Johann Georg Schelhorn (1728); Archibald Bower (1731); Louis Moréri (1740); David Clément (1753) Alexander Chalmers (1761); Christian Friedrich Schnurrer (1799); Josef Dobrovsky (1808); Pavel Josef Šafarik (1826). Among Slovenes the first Trubar's biographers were Enlightenment writers Valentin Vodnik (1809) and Janez Nepomuk Primic (1814). All mentioned Enlightement writers contributed that Trubar's work was widely known among intellectual elite in Europe.
