V tridesetih letih 19. stoletja je nastala prva (izvirna) slovenska pripoved Sreča v nesreči (1836) avtorja Janeza Ciglerja. Raziskovalci slovenske literature so velik vpliv na nastanek tega dela pripisovali bavarskemu pisatelju Christophu Schmidu, tako v vsebini kot strukturi, ideji in pripovednemu slogu, pa tudi sledenju duhu časa in upoštevanju tradicije. Podrobneje so se posvečali zlasti vsebinskim primerjavam, ne pa tudi analizam podobnosti stila. S paketom Stylo v statističnem programskem okolju R za napredne stilistične analize zbirk besedil smo zato izvedli stilometrično analizo Ciglerjevih in Schmidovih prevedenih del ter nekaterih prevodov pripovedne literature obravnavanega obdobja. Ob upoštevanju določenih omejitev, kot so omejena količina besedil, prevedena in izvirna literatura in žanrska raznolikost, je analiza potrdila izviren Ciglerjev slog in odprla nova vprašanja glede avtorstva nekaterih del.; The first original Slovenian story, Sreča v nesreči (Fortune in Misfortune), was published by Janez Cigler in 1836. Slovenian literature specialists have ascribed major influence on its creation to the works of the Bavarian writer Christoph von Schmid, not only in terms of its content, structure, concept, and narrative style, but also in following the spirit of the time and its regard for tradition. These researchers primarily focused on comparisons of content, but not on analyses of similarities in style. The Stylo package in the statistical software environment R for advanced stylistic analyses of text collections was therefore used to perform a stylometric analysis of Cigler’s works and Schmid’s translated works, as well as some translations of narrative prose from the period studied. Given certain limitations—such as the limited volume of texts, translated and original literature, and genre diversity—the analysis confirms Cigler’s original style rather than an imitation of Schmid, raising new questions regarding the authorship of certain works.
