Objective: The aim of the research is to examine Trubar’s Slovenian Church Ordinance of 1564 not only as an early Protestant regulative text, but also as a phenomenon at the intersection of law, theology, language, and politics. Special emphasis is placed on: a comparative analysis of the ordinance with related German, Swiss, and Scandinavian church regulations; an investigation of the socio-political context in Carniola within the Habsburg framework; the linguistic and terminological significance of the ordinance as the first legal text written in the Slovenian language; and the interdisciplinary valorisation of the ordinance through the lenses of law, history, theology, and the vernacular.
