although the counter-reformation destroyed completely the protestant religious community in the slovene lands, the alphabet was taken over by catholic authors, most notably by the roman catholic bishop of ljubljana thomas chrön. in the 17th and early 18th century, very few literary texts were written in slovene; nevertheless, bohorič's alphabet remained in use throughout this period. slovene names in valvasor's german-written book "the glory of the duchy of carniola", for example, were all rendered in this script.
