Primož Trubar – servitor and commissus specialis of Pietro Bonomo, Bishop of Trieste. A contribution to Trubar’s biography

Abstract

The contribution focuses on presenting two notary documents, dated 18 June 1526 and 15 June 1541, respectively. In the first, Trubar is referred to as the servitor and in the second as the procurator, nuncius, et commissus specialis of Pietro Bonomo, Bishop of Trieste from 1502 to 1546. Since the more recent record has to date not been presented to general public, it is addressed before its earlier counterpart, which has already been cited in literature several times. The full text of the more recent record is published in the Annex. Apart from the contents of both documents, the contribution also highlights questions concerning Trubar’s connections with Trieste and his life in general. However, the answers to these questions should also be sought in other Trieste sources from 1526 and 1541 that contain mention of Trubar.
