Anton Vovk
20th-century Catholic bishop / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Archbishop Anton Vovk (19 May 1900 – 7 July 1963) was born in the village of Vrba in Upper Carniola in the same house where the poet France Prešeren had been born 100 years earlier (Vovk was Prešeren's grand-nephew because his grandmother Marija “Mina” Volk was Prešeren's sister).
