O pisaru Erlangenskog rukopisa
About the scribe of the Erlangen manuscript

Summary/Abstract: According to current knowledge, the Erlangen manuscript is the oldest collection of oral poems recorded in the South Slavic region. Although, as such, it is a starting and unavoidable point in exploring verse forms of oral art, many questions about this manuscript remain unresolved today, since it is unknown when and where it created and who wrote it. The open questions, then, include the scribe of the Erlangen manuscript himself. The basic task of this paper is to give results on the origin of the scribe with regard to his writing and the norm of writing, as well as observations on the scribe’s influence on the language of the Erlangen manuscript and on the use of the type of Cyrillic alphabet with which this manuscript is written.
