Research

Matija Ogrin studies early modern Slovenian literature, focusing on the periods from Baroque to Romanticism and on the literary circle of Anton Martin Slomšek. Ogrin’s work is founded upon research of primary sources, notably manuscripts, and their traditional scholarly treatment: transcription, analysis and critical editing. He has studied methods of digital scholarly editing and coordinated several projects in the field of digital Humanities (such as eZISS). Ogrin has edited several critical editions, including the Škofja Loka Passion Play. Together with Tomaž Erjavec, JSI, he was awarded the Google Digital Humanities Research Award (2010). In recent years, Ogrin has been continuing his research in early modern Slovenian manuscripts <http://ezb.ijs.si/nrss/>.




Editorial work

From 2004, Ogrin is the editor of the series Digital Scholarly Editions of Slovenian Literature (eZISS, http://nl.ijs.si/e-zrc/index-en.html) and, from 2009, of the portal of Digital scholarly monographs (eZMono, http://ezb.ijs.si/ezmono/). From 2011, he serves as the editor of the series of collected works of Slovenian writers (Zbrana dela slovenskih pesnikov in pisateljev), where he has founded a sub-series of the works of early modern Slovenian literature (Dela starejšega slovenskega slovstva) in 2016. With his team, he transcribed and edited Karel Štrekelj’s manuscript lectures on the history of Slovenian literature (Zgodovina slovenskega slovstva I–IV) in 2012–2014 – the very first university lectures on Slovenian literature in Slovenian language. From 1996, Ogrin continues to edit the Sidro series of philosophical essays at the Družina publisher.
