Slovo o Polku Igorove Online?

[Charles Price]

I have not encountered the view that Dobrovsky might
have been involved in all this. Could I ask what the
main tenets of this argument are?

CP

===================
... 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).
