A Slovenian citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Miklosich
(1813-91) studied at the University of Graz before moving to Vienna
in 1838. Indo-European philology was a growing area for research,
and in 1844 Miklosich reviewed Bopp's Comparative Grammar (also
reissued in this series) and embarked upon extending the
comparative method across the whole Slavonic language family.
Miklosich's work marked a watershed in Slavonic studies; in 1849 he
became Austria's first professor of Slavonic philology. His
publications included editions of historical sources; work on loan
words, place names, and Romany dialects; a dictionary of Old Church
Slavonic; and an etymological dictionary of the Slavonic languages
(1886, also available). His four-volume comparative grammar of the
Slavonic languages (originally published 1852-74, updated reprints
1875-83) was one of his most influential works. Volume 1 (1852,
reissued in the 1879 second edition) places Slavonic phonology in
its Indo-European context before describing the sounds of each
language.
