auch dem einfachen Volk verständlich und musste von ihm als Befreiung von
den traditionellen kirchlichen Vorstellungen und Forderungen und als Hilfe
gegen die Bedrängnis durch die Türken empfunden werden. Dass sich die Ref-
ormation in Slowenien nicht dauerhaft durchsetzen konnte, lag gewiss nicht
an Mängeln von Trubers Theologie und Verkündigung, sondern an den politi-
schen Umständen, die eine nachhaltige Wirkung seiner Gedanken in der frühen
Neuzeit verhinderten.

King Maximilian II and Primož Trubar
Prior to his public decision for Roman Catholicism (1562), Maximilian, the
Bohemian king and later Holy Roman Emperor, had an important role for
Primož Trubar and the Slovene Reformation. Like others, Trubar had reck-
oned up to that time on the king’s favourable attitude towards Protestantism.
Maximilian had financially supported the printing of Slovene and Croatian
Protestant books in Urach. In 1560 Trubar asked him to help in judging the
linguistic appropriateness and theological correctness of his Slovene books,
and showed him his work up to that time in detail. Maximilian then helped
with his letter to get permission again from the Duke of Württemberg for print-
ing Trubar’s books. Trubar also requested the king’s advice and support when
he decided to accept the task of superintendent in Slovenia. Moreover, Trubar
addressed some of his forewords in Slovene and Croatian books to Maximilian;
here he presented his endeavours to establish the old, true Christian faith,
founded on the gospel, gave a full description of the conditions among the
Slovene, Croatian and South Slavic peoples , reported on the suffering of the
people on account of Turkish violence, and sketched out for him the possibil-
ity that this would end if the true faith were spread by means of books through
the countries under Turkish rule.

The Turkish problem in Trubar’s life and works is present as a leitmotiv in

the reformer’s consciousness he introduces his life story, then it constantly
recurs in Trubar’s most creative period, here transposed as an (autobiographi-
