Was Trubar’s second wife from Celje?

Abstract

The contribution deals with the question whether the second wife of Primož Trubar (1508–1586), the originator of Slovene literature, Anastazija was the sister of the Augsburg pharmacist Mihael Klaus and thus by origin from Celje. The hypothesis is based on Truba's mentioning "mein lieber schwager" for Klaus in 1575, in the time when Trubar was already married for the second time. The hypothesis that Klaus's sister was Truba's first wife Barbara was declined in 1955 with the ascertainment of Barbara's actual identity.
