Summary/Abstract: Translated biography of Martin Luther was written in 1791 by anonymous author. In those time in Slovak or Bohemian language similar opus did not exist. Opus was markedly apologetical, but on the other side negated some legends, so it may be understood as valuable historical document. Moreover, it was dedicated for people, who didn´t understand any foreign languages. Author was closely acquainted with Luther´s curriculum vitae and what is interesting, likened him to Ján Hus. Opus was complemented by Luther´s predications.
