Abecedarium

Last night, we got a babysitter and went to a restaurant on the river called Abecedarium.  Nothing exciting, but interesting history... The building in which the restaurant is located was built in 1528 as the mayor's house and is in the oldest remaining building in Ljubljana (yes, 1528).  The "Father of Slovene Literature," Primoz Trubar, later lived in the house in the 1560's.  He is famous for writing the first Slovenian published book, Abecedarium, an eight-pager intended to help people learn the alphabet.
