Abstract
In this paper, I show how a new critical edition, especially if it is an online edition, can redraw an author profile even if it is better known compared to its contemporaries. The new edition of Nicolaus Olahus’ correspondence is not only a revised and extended version of the earlier edition (Ipolyi 1875), it also gives readers the chance to get a more authentic idea of Olahus as writer. Olahus often corrected his letters, which were usually noted down by one of his scribes, and he sometimes also changed his earlier autographs. These changes mold a profile of a conscious composer who represented himself not only as an erudite humanist but also as uncompromisingly loyal to the Catholic church and the Habsburgs. The first volume of the correspondence edition was published in 2018, prepared in Classical Text Editor, while the second volume has been prepared in Oxygen XML Editor. Finally, I describe some of the methodological problems that arose during the preparation of the online and print editions of the text.
