Reformers Dalmatin and Bohorič honoured with plaques in Germany
Leipzig, 17 March - Two memorial plaques were unveiled in Wittenberg, Germany, on Friday honouring two Slovenian greats from the Reformation period who provided a basis for the Slovenian written language. Jurij Dalmatin translated the entire Bible and Adam Bohorič wrote the first Slovenian grammar book. Both were published in 1584 in Wittenberg.
