News of discovery - Igor Tale

[Richard Schultz]

The story did seem a bit unlikely. The idea that a major text of the Kulikovo cycle had gone unnoticed for several hundred years and that a foreigner noticed it only now. It seems very unlikely that any new texts of that sort might still be lying around neglected. The fact that not a single SEELANGS subscriber seems to know about this discovery suggests that it was only a rumor - although I get the feeling that many, if not most, Slavists are burned out on the Slovo o polku Igoreve.
  Robert, I assume that by Shakespeare/Bacon/Marlowe stuff you are referring to forays such as those of Keenan and Perepelkina?

It may well be, but it shouldn't discourage the sort of 
Shakespeare/Bacon/Marlowe stuff that the Slovo seems to generate

This summer in Russia I heard that an American (or a Brit?) has found an 
early text of one of the works about Kulikovo, and that this text proves the 
Slovo o polku Igoreve is genuine. Can anyone tell me whether this 
information is true?
