Folkloristični portret Gregorja Kreka

Trem prvim slovenskim profesorjem na univerzi v Gradcu daje pečat slovanska filologija. Njen prvi kvalificirani zastopnik je postal leta 1871 Gregor Krek (1840–1905), ko je postal izredni in leta 1874 redni profesor. Namen prispevka je očrtati ustanovitelja graške slavistike predvsem v njeni luči, kot ene od filoloških panog, ki so bile v njegovem času med seboj še trdno prepletene, o čemer priča Krekova znanstvena in strokovna bibliografija. *** Three of the most prominent Slovenian professors teaching at the University of Graz were primarily Slavic philologists. Gregor Krek (1840 – 1905), who in 1871 became associate professor and three years later, in 1874, full professor, was the first certificated Slavic philologist. The article focuses on Krek as the founder of Slavic studies at the University of Graz. As is evident from his scientific bibliography the study of Slavic languages was one of philological disciplines that were still closely connected at the time
