Wanradt–Koell Catechism

The Wanradt–Koell Catechism (Estonian: Wanradti ja Koelli katekismus) is a partly preserved book that is considered the oldest printed source of Estonian.

The oldest known examples of handwritten Estonian appear in 13th-century chronicles.

The book was compiled by the clergymen Simon Wanradt [de] and Johann Koell [de].

The book was published in 1535 in Wittenberg.

[1] Fragments from the book were discovered in 1929 by the historian Hellmuth Weiss.
