Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with possibilities of reconstructing and publishing an unknown collection of poems written by the poet Vojtech Mihálik (1926 – 2001), which he submitted to a literary competition organized by the publishing house Tranoscius in 1946. The collection has not been found to date. Its reconstruction is based on the list of the poems, which is found in one of Mihálik´s manuscript notebooks, and its result gives a rough idea about the collection. The paper refers to foreign impulses from the area of digital editions and possibilities which are offered by these inspiring projects when dealing with editorial and textological issues. These stimuli form the basis for the efforts to outline possible alternatives and approaches to creating a digital edition which would appropriately present the process of reconstructing the collection Ruža/The Rose, while the selective nature of the reconstruction has not been concealed. Furthermore, publishing of all the available materials related to the reconstruction would make it possible for a user to verify the work done by the editor.
