Iván Fliszár

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iván Fliszár's manuscript prayer-book in Bodonci.

Iván Fliszár (Ivan Flisar, Janoš Flisar) was an obscure Slovene Lutheran teacher in Hungary. He wrote his manuscript prayer-book in Prekmurje Slovene in Bodonci. This may have been the first Lutheran prayer-book in the Prekmurje dialect. In 1797, István Szijjártó published the first printed prayer-book for the Hungarian Slovene Lutherans, Molítvi na ſztári ſzlovenſzki jezik (Prayers in Old Slovene).

Today the manuscript is the property of Simon Sever, the Lutheran priest in Bodonci.
