The Problems of editing the "Erlangen Manuscript"

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the problems of editing one of the most important collections of Serbian oral (and urban) poetry, written in early 18th century in the Military Frontier. Discovered in early 20th century in an Erlangen library, the manuscript is extremely uneven and heterogeneous orthographically, which produced a highly differentiated spectrum of interventions: from corrections of Gesemann's transcriptions, to the corrections of the scribe’s obvious mistakes (lack of differentiation between voiced and voiceless consonants and similar), to details that tested the knowledge of the wider poetics of oral poetry. A particular problem was the reading of yat, the letter containing three legitimate reflexes (Ekavian, Ikavian and Ijekavian).
