Biography
Born on August 28, 1672 in a peasant family in the Serbluzhitsky village of Meshitsy. After graduating from the Budishino gymnasium, he studied theology since 1696 at the University of Leipzig . Since 1702 he was an auxiliary priest in one of the Lutheran parishes and in 1708 he was appointed rector in his native village of Buketsi, where he served until his death in 1728. In 1710, he was one of the authors of the collection of church hymns of the Luzhichans, which was published at his expense in 1719 with new additional 42 hymns. Translated into the Upper Sorbian language the Augsburg Confession of Martin Luther . He wrote several poems in Latin.
In collaboration with Ian Bemar , Ian Langa and Matei Jokusz , he translated Martin Luther’s Bible into the Upper Luzhsky language. This translation required eleven years of work to process the language and verify with Polish, Czech and Old Slavonic translations. The Bible was published in 1728 after his death at the expense of the Serbian Cultural and Educational Society “ Serbian Preaching Society ”. Currently, this translation under the name " Biblija 1728 " is considered in the trade union industry as one of the monuments of the Serboluga writing and language.
