Note 474 — NOTE VII. THE BATTLE OF KOSSOVO IN SERVIAN POETRY.

My object in this note is to call attention to a subject which appears to have been strangely neglected by English Homeric students. I cannot claim to possess the requisite qualifications, linguistic and historical, for an independent investigation of the subject. English translations of many of the poems are to be found, together with a historical introduction, in Mme Mijatovich's Kossovo (London, 1881). For a more critical study the reader may be referred to the introduction to Pasić's Narodne Pjesme o boju na Kosovu godine 1389 (Agram, 1877), to which I am much indebted.
