Revival and Liberation

Petar Beron

1799–1871

Life

Beron was born in Kotel. His primer is called “fish” after an illustration near the end, rather than because it teaches only about fish. It proposes learning beyond church texts. The surviving title page names the year, author and supporter, providing direct evidence of the edition. Published a primer in Brașov in 1824. Included animals, measures and everyday knowledge. The book appeared with Anton Jovanović’s support. The primer shows how a schoolbook also began explaining the surrounding world.
