About 400th Ann of the 1st Printed Book in the National Language in B&H

Four centuries ago, in 1611, Friar Matija Divkovic published the "Nauk krstjanski za narod slovinski“ ("Christian doctrine for the Slavic people“), the 1st printed book in the national language in B&H. Friar Matija Divković was born in 1563 in Jelaske and died in the Olovo Franciscan monastery in 1631. There isn’t much information on his life but his works have experienced great popularity in the wide, Catholic nation. His role is great, not only in Christian education and training of Catholic faithful, but also in literacy of common people and standardization of Croatian language as well as stokavian – not only in B&H but also beyond.
