István Pintér
István Pintér (Slovene: Števan Pinter) (ab. January 25, 1831 – December 11, 1875) was a Hungarian Slovene writer and court in Felsőszölnök.
He was born and lived in the Jánoshegy (Janošovi brejg), near Felsőszölnök. His parents were István Pintér sg. and Mária Bajzék.
About 1864, he wrote his cantor-book. In this hymnal were collected religious folk songs in the Prekmurian language. The oldest hymn is the Krisztus nam je od szmrti sztao (Christ is risen from the dead we), from the manuscript of Stična Monastery in Styria.
