| Description | The author of the present contribution deals with the role of Josef Dobrovský' personality in the formation of the Igor' Tale at the background of Edward Keenan's book (2003). The author highly appreciates Keenan's precise analysis of Dobrovský's personality and its psychic structure as well as his poetic gift reflected in the so-called Bowring affair. Though he is not convinced about Dobrovský's authorship of the Igor' Tale, he shares the view expressed by several specialists in medieval texts that the Igor' Tale – like Elder and Younger Edda, Nibelungenlied or Kalevala came into existence via textual stratification. |
