In the field of literature and history, he established himself as a scholar of Prešeren.
As the headmaster of the then Lyceum, he obtained a valuable relic of Prešeren, which was donated to the library in 1905 by its owner Bamberg at Pintar's request. Today, this acquisition is considered one of the greatest treasures of the National and University Library.
