Abstract

Despite his efforts, a philologist and the first Slovene doctor of Indian studies, Dr Karel Glaser (1845-1913), who worked as a grammar school teacher in Trieste in the period 1880-1901, could not have asserted himself in the Slovene middle class of Trieste. One of the reasons was also a strong local patriotism of the Slovenes of Trieste, who saw Glaser, originating from Hoče near Maribor, only as a newcomer.
