Abstract
The paper is a reminder of Jelčić’s contribution in presenting, describing and analyzing the life and works of Josip Kosor. The Kosor theme is Jelčić’s main theme, a place in his professional oeuvre that shows the best of his philological, research and analytical significance. With his monograph on Kosor from 1988, Jelčić influenced many researchers of Kosor’s literary oeuvre, but not only them: with an exemplary study, he offered a model of systematic philological work that was imitated and improved by younger generations of literary historians. Using a personal example, the author of this paper himself will show how Jelčić’s passion for studying Josip Kosor continued in a series of new professional texts, newly published works by Kosor and discoveries of new manuscripts in foreign archives.
