Pilistvere parsonage manor

Pilistvere kirikumõis · German: Pillistfer, Pastorat

Pilistvere parsonage hosted a meeting that philologists call the first conference on the Estonian language. In 1687, in Swedish times, the clergy gathered here for a Bible conference, following an earlier one at Lindenhof (Liepa) in 1686, to discuss among other things the translation of the New Testament into North Estonian. The question of how Estonian should be written, in which dialect and with which spelling, was hotly argued among the pastors of the time, and these meetings were a step on the long road to a common written language and to the Estonian Bible.

Eesti keeles

Pilistvere pastoraadis peeti kokkusaamine, mida filoloogid nimetavad esimeseks eesti keele konverentsiks. 1687. aastal, Rootsi ajal, kogunesid siia vaimulikud piiblikonverentsile, mis järgnes 1686. aastal Lindenhofis (Liepas) peetule, et arutada muu hulgas Uue Testamendi tõlkimist põhjaeesti keelde. Küsimus, kuidas eesti keelt kirjutada, millises murdes ja millise õigekirjaga, tekitas tolleaegsete pastorite seas tuliseid vaidlusi ning need koosolekud olid samm pikal teel ühise kirjakeele ja eestikeelse piibli poole.
