Description
Excerpt from Colomba
Coming at such a juncture, a collection of lays and ballads from the distant shores of the Adriatic, with an exhaustive apparatus of notes, biographies, etc., were meat and drink to the apostles of the new literary gospel. And so seriously was this supposed contribution to the science of folklore taken, that critics at once set to work to make their comments, and German scholars were not slow in detecting in the French prose translation distinct traces of the original Illyrian metres.
