OLYMPIA'S EPISTLE TO BlREN

Marija Salzmann Čelan

Abstract

The epistle in verse sent by Olympia to Biren is thematically in connection with A.Gleđević's drama "Olimpija osvećena" (Olympia Avenged) so that some consider it to be its introductory part while others are of the opinion that certain doubt exists in Gleđević's authorship of the epistle.

One copy of the epistle is housed in the National Library in Vienna. The author compares the text of this copy with the text of Budmani's edition and considers that the Viennese manuscript is to a certain degree more polished. Her opinion is that the epistle should be understood as a separate work of Gleđević's and not as an introductory part of the drama .
