About Peter Pavel Glavar
- Peter Pavel Glavar (2 May 1721 – 24 January 1784) was a Carniolan Roman Catholic priest, beekeeper, writer, and businessman. Glavar was born in Ljubljana and was an illegitimate and abandoned child of the Maltese noble Pietro Giacomo de Testaferrata and of a local servant.
- He was raised in Vopovlje in northern Carniola.
- As he was a quick learner, he went to study for a priest to Ljubljana and about 1738 to Graz, where he became a master of liberal arts (Latin: magister artium liberalium).
- There he also got acquainted with economic theories of French physiocrats.
- His education was wide and he was fluent in several European languages. Glavar returned to Carniola around 1743.
- He settled in Komenda in northern Carniola, where he established a school in 1751, and erected a benefice building with a library in 1752.
- The library still stands and comprises around 2,000 books from a multitude of fields of science and arts.
- A mighty lime tree in Komenda was presumably planted by Glavar in 1748 and has been named after him.
- Glavar collaborated with artists and ordered Franc Jelovšek to paint the beneficiary house and the local church.
- From 1754 until 1760, he edited the first Slovene-language parish family book, writing the data about the inhabitants of Komenda.
- In 1761–66, he erected the High-Baroque St.
- Anne's Church in Tunjice.In 1766, Glavar bought Lanšprež Castle (German: Landspreis) in Gomila near Mirna in the central Carniola, where he kept an apiary with about 200 quite profitable hives.
- He also established a beekeeping school there and wrote several texts on beekeeping, including Pogovor o cebelnih rojih (Discussion About Bee Swarms) from 1776–78, which was the first Slovene-language scholarly text, but was lost and was published only in 1976.
- He was a supporter of poor students.
- He died at Lanšprež Castle aged 62 years.
- His assets were distributed among the poor and used for the establishment of Glavar Hospital in Komenda in 1804.In 2006, a TV-documentary was produced about Peter Pavel Glavar.
