You are invited to the presentation of a book - a picture book entitled Bishop Abraham, Lord of Loka and a subtitle about Bishop Abraham of Freising or how the Loka Bishop emerged from Lonka. The author of the story Helena Janezic and the illustrator Agata Pavlovec will talk about how their collaboration came about and how they created the book.
Bishop Abraham is well known in the history of our Slovenian nation. As a young, highly educated priest, he operated in the" court chapel " of Emperor Otto I and then his successor Emperor Otto II. According to the practice established at that time, Emperor Otto II. Bishop Abraham granted extensive estates in Carinthia and Carniola. In order to make it easier for Bishop Abraham to work among his Slovene faithful, he had the basic texts he used in pastoral work among our ancestors written in his ritual manual, known as the monuments of Brizinje"
In the records of Bishop Abraham we find the oldest record not only in Slovene, but in Slavic languages at all."Methodius Benedik
Vabljeni na predstavitev knjige - slikanice z naslovom Škof Abraham, Loški gospod in podnaslovom O škofu Abrahamu iz Freisinga ali kako je iz Lonke nastala Škofja Loka. O tem kako je prišlo do njunega sodelovanja in kako sta knjigo ustvarjali, bosta spregovorili avtorica zgodbe Helena Janežič in ilustratorka Agata Pavlovec.
Škof Abraham je dobro znan v zgodovini našega slovenskega naroda. Kot mlad, visoko izobražen duhovnik, je deloval v »dvorni kapeli« cesarja Otona I. in potem njegovega naslednika cesarja Otona II. Po tedaj ustaljeni praksi je cesar Oton II. škofu Abrahamu podelil obširna posestva na Koroškem in Kranjskem. Da bi škof Abraham lažje deloval med svojimi slovenskimi verniki, je v svoj obredni priročnik dal zapisati temeljna besedila, ki jih je uporabljal pri pastoralnem delu med našimi predniki, poznana pod imenom Brižinski spomeniki»
V zapisih škofa Abrahama najdemo torej najstarejši zapis ne le v slovenskem, ampak sploh v slovanskih jezikih.« Metod Benedik
