- Abstract
The Journal for History and Ethnography (Časopis za zgodovino in narodopisje) was established in 1904 as a scientific publication of the new Slovenian historical society for the Lower Styria in Maribor. It is regarded as an important pillar of early scholarship in Slovene language in Styria which was previously dominated by periodic publications in German language. The main aim of the present article is a brief analysis of contents of the journal during the first period of its publishing (1904-1940), since the history of Časopis was interrupted for 25 years due to the Nazi occupation of Styria in 1941, only to be reestablished in the 1960s. The starting point of our analysis is the 32th volume of the journal, dedicated to one of the Časopis' founder and its main contributor, the priest Franc Kovačič. This jubilee volume enables us to sketch a panoramic view of the first three decades of the journal's history. It shows the pretty broad span of included topics as well as its respected position in the Slovene scientific area of the late pre-WWII period. In the core part of the paper, contributions by Franc Kovačič are considered in some detail, to be followed by very brief analysis of several highlights of the journal's contents during the discussed period. The papers on the medieval and early modern history of the Slovene ethnic territory as well as contributions by the prolific scholar Franc Ilešič are focal points of this part. The controversies, regarding scientific level of the published papers, where differences between Kovačič and first editor of the journal, Anton Kaspret, seem to be particularly sharp, are also mentioned. Based on the limited of the considered material, it can be concluded that The Journal for History and Ethnography remained true to the purpose, sketched in the time of its establishment in 1904, and secured a prominent place in Slovenian scholarship of the prewar period.
