Gaiger was born in Novo Mesto circa 1667.[1] After studying with the Jesuits in Ljubljana, he joined the Capuchin order in 1684.[1] He taught philosophy at monasteries in Maribor and Graz, and then theology in the Ljubljana area. In 1712 he published his Dictionarium trilingue, a trilingual dictionary of Latin, German, and Slovene. In 1715 he published a revised edition of Adam Bohorič's grammar Grammatica latino-germanico-slavonica (Latin–German–Slovene Grammar), and that same year a third edition of the 1613 work Evangelia inu lystuvi (Gospels and Epistles). Gaiger died in Kranj in 1722.[1][4][5]
