and later moved to the Mura March. In 1833 he translated a textbook from German into Hungarian
and Prekmurian Slovenian language
. One of the topics of this book is the Mura March, which he calls Szlovenszka kraina in his mother tongue, because the inhabitants of the region called themselves szloveni (Slovenes). In the Hungarian version of the book he calls them vandalus (Vandals) because Hungarian Slovenes
, living near the rivers Mura and Rába
, were thought to be descendants of the Vandals
.
Three editions of the book were published for the use of Prekmurian Lutheran schools. Lülik died in 1847.
