DECREE OF ARCHDUKE FERDINAND II REGARDING BANISHMENT OF PROTESTANTS IN 1599
Maja ĆUTIĆ GORUP
Sažetak
In this article author analyzes counter-protestant activities of the Hapsburg authorities in the Austrian part of Istria that was a part of Inner Austria. Since the chief document for this analysis was the decree of archduke Ferdinand regarding banishment of Protestants
(1599), author emphasizes that it is quite diffi cult to determine to what extent Protestantism was popular in Pazin County. Namely, Austrian authorities were quite rigid regarding the Protestantism, so the majority of sympathizers and promoters worked in secret, and
many of them never openly converted to the new faith. Moreover, author point out that presently unanalyzed documents about counter-protestant activities of Hapsburg authorities still represent an important testimony about Protestantism and spreading of the Lutheran faith in the Austrian Istria.
