The article, divided into two parts, will present in more detail the original letters of five Lutheran theologians from 1568–1593, which are kept in the Provincial Estates of Carniola Fonds by the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia. The authors of these letters were committed Lutherans, originating from the German-speaking areas who, based on their places of work, are included in the project of recording the correspondence of theologians from the southwestern part of the Holy Roman Empire from the period between 1550 and 1620. The project has been running since 2017 within the framework of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences, but the letters discussed in the article cannot yet be found on the project website. In addition to the content of the letters and the questions raised in connection with the letters, the present article will also briefly present the lives and work of their writers. The first part will discuss three letters written in 1568, 1585, and 1589.
