He was born in 1854, in the small Slovenian village Bukoviye, no far from the town of Tzelle. Bezenshek graduated from Zagreb University and later became a Professor of Philosophy. He became famous for adapting the Gabelsberg?s System of Stenography for the Slavonic languages, and was actually the founder and creator of BG Stenography.
