Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: The book describes the life and work of Franz Miklosich, the founder of Slavic studies at the University of Vienna. He was a Slovene by nationality, born in Lower Styria, studied philosophy and law in Graz, but, guided by his fellow-countryman Jernej Kopitar in Vienna he became more and more interested in Slavonic studies. He had a brilliant career as a librarian, professor at the Vienna University, member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and life-time member of the Herrenhaus of the Austrian Parliament. He received numerous academic honours and was knighted by the Austrian Emperor. The book reports in 34 chapters on the external circumstances which fostered and favoured his career with the Imperial Library, the Academy of Sciences, and the University of Vienna, and presents the first survey of his research which covers a wide range of topics, from Old Slovenian (i. e. Old Church Slavic) and comparative Slavic grammar, Slavic lexicography including etymology, language contacts with Modern Greek, Hungarian, Rumanian, Albanian, and Turkish, up to his extensive research on the language of European Gypsies, and the edition of Byzantine documents. Miklosich’s efforts concerning language policy are also described, among others the creation of the legal-political terminology for the Slavic languages in Austria, or the introduction of the Slovene language into secondary education, or his stressing the importance of the study of modern languages, and the necessity of language contact research. Material from archives will in some respect shed new light upon Miklosich’s personality as a human being and scholar. German description: Die Monographie beschreibt das Leben und Werk von Franz Miklosich, dem Begrunder der osterreichischen universitaren Slawistik. Geburtiger Slowene aus der Untersteiermark, war er seiner Ausbildung in Graz nach Philosoph und Jurist, wurde aber unter der Anleitung seines Landsmanns Bartholomaus Kopitar in Wien immer mehr zum Slawisten. Er durchlief eine glanzende Karriere als Bibliothekar, Universitatsprofessor, Mitglied der kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften und lebenslanger Abgeordneter des Herrenhauses; er erhielt zahlreiche Ehrungen und wurde in den Adelsstand erhoben. Das Buch berichtet in 34 Kapiteln uber die ausseren Umstande, die seine Karriere an der Hofbibliothek, der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Universitat ermoglichten und begunstigten, und bietet den ersten Gesamtuberblick uber seine Forschungen, die sich von der altslovenischen (= altkirchenslawischen) uber die vergleichende slawische Grammatik, die slawische Lexikographie einschliesslich der Etymologie, die Sprachkontakte mit Neugriechisch, Ungarisch, Rumanisch, Albanisch und Turkisch bis zu seinen umfangreichen Forschungen uber die Sprache der europaischen Roma und die Herausgabe byzantinischer Denkmaler erstrecken. Gewurdigt werden auch Miklosichs sprachpolitische Bestrebungen wie die Erstellung der juridisch-politischen Terminologie fur die slawischen Sprachen Osterreichs, die Etablierung der slowenischen Sprache in den Gymnasien sowie seine Verweise auf die Bedeutung der neuphilologischen Studien und die Notwendigkeit sprachenubergreifender Forschung. Durch die Beiziehung von Archivmaterial erscheint Miklosichs Personlichkeit als Mensch und Forscher in mancher Hinsicht in neuem Licht
