Who is Adam Bohorič?
Adam Bohorič was a Slovenian Protestant preacher, teacher and author of the first Slovenian grammar.
Bohorič was born in the village of Reichenburg in the Duchy of Styria (today Brestanica in Slovenia).
In 1584 he wrote his most notable work, Arcticae horulae succisivae (English: Free Winter Hours).
The book, written in Latin, was the first Slovenian grammar and the first Slovenian normative guide.
It was adapted and republished as Grammatica latino-germanico-slavonica in 1715 by Janez Adam Geiger.
In this work, Bohorič codified the first Slovenian alphabet, now called the Bohorič alphabet.
It was in use until the 1840s, when it was replaced by the Latin alphabet of Gaj.
