»One Restless Individual« and »Plagiarism«:
Klombner's Ene duhovne peisni (1563)
Church song was one of the three key literary expressions in the Slovenian lit-
erature of the 16th century. Besides biblical translations and ‘postil’ commen-
taries on the Sunday and holy day gospels for reading at home, it was the most
productive literary genre of Slovenian Protestant literature. This text corpus
in the Slovene language comprises six hymnals by P. Trubar, book of songs
by Matija Klombner, two hymnals by Jurij Dalmatin, and the last Slovenian
Protestant hymnal of the 16th century, which was edited by Felicijan Trubar
(1595) – a total of 10 books of church song (the textual scopes of the full hym-
nals comprise between 42 and 80 song texts).
The book Ene duhovne peisni (1563), arranged by Matija Klombner, contains
67 songs (seven by Trubar, of which six were from the Catechismus of 1550,
and 60 by other translators and re-creators) has a special place among the Slo-
venian Protestant hymnals of the 16th century, and was considered the most
extensive Slovenian songbook until Ta celi catehismus, eni psalmi appeared
in 1584, by Jurij Dalmatin, which contains eighty hymns. Martin Luther is
the most represented author among the 67 hymns (22 versifications), having
written almost one third of them. Czech Brother Michael Wiesse wrote five
songs, and with his hymnal Ein new Gesangbuchlen (Mladá Boleslav 1531) sig-
nificantly impacted the German and Slovenian church song of the 16th centu-
ry. The book also contains translations of two songs by the church composer
Nikolaus Hermann and the Merovingian court poet Venantius Fortunatus;
the following authors are represented by one song each: Elisabeth Creutziger,
