Catechismus in der windischenn Sprach or shortly Catechismus (Catechism
, also known as or shortly in modern Slovene), is a book written by the Slovene Protestant
preacher Primož Trubar
in 1550. Along with Trubar's 1550 book, Abecedarium
(Abecedary), Catechismus was the first book published in Slovene. Catechismus was written and published in German territory while Trubar was in hiding. Catechismus served as part of a foundation of the establishment of a national identity for Slovenes.
Catechismus was released in October 2009 for the first time in modern Slovene. This scholarly edition includes both the Trubar-era Slovene and a translation into modern Slovene with scholarly notes. Similarly, Abecedarium was published in October 2008, the other "first" Slovene book. The "Pridiga o veri" (Sermon on Faith) from Catechismus is available in Slovene, English, German, and Esperanto. Samples of these important works are at the website of the Trubar Forum http://www.primoztrubar.si.
A phrase from Cathecismus, Stati inu Obstati ("To Stand and Withstand"), is inscribed on the Slovenian 1 euro coin and has also been the slogan of the former Slovenian metropolitan archbishop Franc Rode.
