Hugolín Gavlovič


Hugolín Gavlovič was a Slovak Franciscan priest who authored religious, moral, and educational writings in the contemporary West Slovak vernacular, and was a prominent representative of baroque literature in Slovakia.
He wrote didactical-reflexive poetry. His works are written in a West Slovak vernacular which "is situated temporally as well as linguistically between the systems described by Pavel Doležal and by Anton Bernolák". His most famous piece of work is Valašská škola, mravúv stodola, a work of 17,862 verses, nearly all in fourteen syllables, as well as numerous versified couplet-marginalia.
