Religious ferment in Europe affects Croatian culture …

Years: 1540 - 1683

Religious ferment in Europe affects Croatian culture in the sixteenth century.

Many Croatian and Dalmatian nobles embrace the Protestant Reformation in the mid-sixteenth century, and in 1562 Stipan Konzul and Anton Dalmatin publish the first Croatian Bible.

The Counterreformation begins in Croatia and Dalmatia in the early seventeenth century, and the most powerful Protestant noblemen soon reconvert.

In 1609 the Sabor votes to allow only the Catholic faith in Croatia.

The Counterreformation enhances the cultural development of Croatia.

Jesuits found schools and publish grammars, a dictionary, and religious books that help hape the Croatian literary language.

Franciscans preach the Counterreformation in Ottoman-held regions.
