Abstract
Based on the correspondence between Czech Slavicist Jiří Polívka and Milivoj Šrepel, which is added to the article and commented, and that between Polívke and Dragutin Boranić, explains in which manner came to Polívka’s collaboration with Zbornik za narodni život Južnih Slavena in 1903 and the circumstances in which that collaboration continued to 1908. Discussing that collaboration, the article also follows ethnological and folkloristic interests of Dragutin Boranić, which, inspit of the fact that he was the editor of the Zbornik for a half of the century, remained until now in the shadow of his philological work. Besides he provided help to Polívka’s scholarly work by counselling and collecting scholarly literature, Boranić also translated all three of his contributions to the Zbornik, encouraged him for collaboration with the Zbornik with the aim of rising level of scholarly writing among Croatian ethnologists and folklorists, and persuaded him to comment the contribution “Narodne pripovijetke iz Bukovice u Dalmaciji” [Folktales from Bukovica in Dalmatia], amalgamating in that manner Polívka’s academic competences with the fieldwork reports of Vladimir Ardelić.
