Slovo o Polku Igorove Online?

[Keenan, Edward]

... if not a supernatural feat.  Since, as is extremely probable, the Slovo
was composed by Josef Dobrovsky during or after his stay in Russia in
1792-3, it was probably (lower probability; less evidence here), in its
"original" (i.e., first) form, written in the mixed Latin-Cyrillic
"all-slavic" alphabet he and his student Václav Hanka occasionally favored
to render the "old Slavic dialect."  (See Hanka's Prague, 1821 edition of
the Slovo.)  

I would suggest that readers' time would be better spent reading authentic
works.

PS: For a foretaste of my forthcoming book, you might look at the little
article in the recent Roman Szporluk Festschrift (=Harvard Ukrainian
Studies, vol. 22).
