and b) to introduce choral singing in Slovene in the church as well. Trubar first
tried to meet the need for a hymnal with the second part of the first Slovene book
– his Catechism (1550) – where the hymns provide a hymnal-musical explanation
(izlaga) and a repetition of the catechismal contents of the first part of the book.
The same sequence of contents is kept as in the first part; because of this strongly
expressed relationship between doctrine and hymns in his Catechism, most of the
other Slovene Protestant hymnals right up to the end of the 16th century were
entitled Ta celi katekizem, eni psalmi.

On Dalmatin’s Agenda
Jurij Dalmatin published his Agenda (service book) in 1585. Unlike the
chronologically earlier works by Trubar (Cerkovna ordninga, 1564 and Ta mahina
agenda, 1575), he kept faithfully to the established pattern (the Württemberg
church order). Dalmatin translated the sense of the text, shortened it and put it
into a form suitable for printing in pocket format. Agenda together with Biblija
and his hymnal (Ta celi catehismus, eni psalmi…, 1584) and catechism (Ta kratki
württemberški catechismus, 1585) represent the basic set of texts which a preacher
needed for spreading Protestant teaching. All these works by Dalmatin were writ-
ten on the basis of the Württemberg Protestant doctrine. He published his Agenda
at the time when the systematically organized Counter-Reformation movement
was taking place in the Hapsburg lands (the German prelature in Vienna, Jesuit
schools, especially the college in Graz, etc.), so its influence on religious life could
not be as great as it would have been one or two decades earlier. Nevertheless,
it was probably weightier than Trubar’s Cerkovna ordninga (1564), which was
mostly confiscated as it interfered with the provincial prince’s authority, and was
definitely proscribed, whereas the Agenda influenced the development of service
books in eastern Slovenia, and, at least indirectly, was still present in Prekmurje
well into the 19th century.
