Martin Baučer

Martin Baučer

Martin Baučer (11 November 1595 – 23 December 1668), also known as Martin Baucer, was a Slovene historian who wrote in Latin.

Baučer was born in the village of Selo near Ajdovščina in the Vipava Valley, in what was then the County of Gorizia (now in Slovenia). He studied philosophy and theology in the Moravian town of Brno, where he joined the Jesuit order.

His most important work is "The History of Noricum and Friuli" (Historia rerum noricarum et forojuliensium), written in ten books and comprising a period going from the Deluge to the coronation of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor. His other important work include a Chronicle of Contemporary Events and a comprehensive biography of the Counts of Gorizia.

He died in Gorizia in 1668.

According to the Slovene historian Bogo Grafenauer, Baučar's descriptions of earlier periods are of little worth, while his accounts of contemporary events are an important source for the history of the 17th century.
