Thomas Chrön (Slovene: Tomaž Hren;[1] November 13, 1560 – February 10, 1630) was a Carniolan Roman Catholic priest, bishop of Ljubljana, and patron of the arts.[2][3]
Life and work
Chrön was born in Ljubljana.[2] In 1573 he enrolled in the Jesuit school in Graz.[3] He was ordained in 1588, when he was also appointed to the canon's position formerly held by Primož Trubar.[2] In 1597 he was appointed bishop of Ljubljana, and the appointment was confirmed in 1599.[3] He was the leading force behind the Counter-Reformation in Carniola,[4] and Protestantism was suppressed in his diocese between 1600 and 1603.[5] However, Jurij Dalmatin's Bible translation was retained and he received papal permission to use it, thereby preserving its linguistic and literary tradition.[3] From 1614 to 1621 he served as the deputy provincial sovereign.[6]
Chrön wanted to establish a press in Ljubljana; he made it possible for Johannes Tschandek (Slovene: Janez Čandek or Čandik[6]) to print the gospels and epistles (Evangelia inu listuvi, 1613),[7] and he copyedited the text himself, which was based on translations by Trubar and Dalmatin.[3] He established the Collegium Marianum in Gornji Grad for the education of clergy.[8] Chrön also supported liturgical music: he commissioned a new organ in Gornji Grad.[2]
Chrön died in Gornji Grad, where he was also buried.[9]
The Slovenized spelling of his name Tomash Hren is found as early as 1832,[10] Tomaž Kren by 1848,[11] Tomaž Hren by 1849,[12] Tomaž Chrön by 1854,[13] and Tomaž Chroen by 1907.[14]
