András Rogan

András Rogan Slovene: Andraš Rogan was a 17th-century Slovene Catholic priest in Hungary, in Dokležovje.

It is likely that he was born in the Upper Slovene Circumscription (Prekmurje, Goričko). The family name of Rogan is frequently found near the municipalities of Rogašovci, Martinje and Tišina. He likely studied in Zagreb and Varaždin.

He was the priest of Dokležovje (Dekležin). In 1676, he compiled a manuscript of sermons, mostly transcriptions from Kajkavian Croatian language (with some Prekmurian Slovene words). The sermons originate from Anton Vramec's Postila from 1586. The Catholic Hungarian Slovenes in the 16th through 18th centuries used the Kajkavian literary language.
