This book presents a selection of Auerbach's essays, many of which are little known outside the German-speaking world.

Reflections on the Czech Slavistics After the First World War: Matija Murko and Jan Máchal
This article compares the positivist thought of two Czech professors of Slavic literature in the 1920s: the Slovenian Matija Murko (1861–1952) and the Czech Jan Hanuš Máchal (1855–1939). Comparative literary history, which in the Central European area focused on minor South Slavic literatures, was in its infancy at this time, and comparative literary historians primarily focused on surveying specific literary periods. The focus of this contribution is Murko’s reflections on South Slavic literature in the period of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in the book Die Bedeutung der Reformation und Gegenreformation für das geistige Leben der Südslaven (1927). I compare his view and methods with a short chapter on the same period in the monumental monograph by Jan Máchal, Slovanské literatury (1922). In the study, I emphasize their comparative methods, interpreting influences, and marking literary currents in this period. Reflections on the literary movements in two national histories were linked to the development of language, and the scholars tried to present social and historical development of that time and place generally. I focus on their approaches to national and supranational literary history and on their interpretation of personalities and literary works in the literary movement.

Matija Murko and Structural Aesthetics
At first glance, the connection between the positivist-oriented Murko and structural aesthetics may seem inappropriate and paradoxical. However, his unpublished correspondence with his student, the renowned Czech Slavist and comparatist Frank Wollman (1888–1969), shows the convergence of thematic areas and disciplinary intersections that foreshadowed structural aesthetics. As the editor of Slavia, Murko made it possible for the key figures of Czech structuralism to publish in this journal even before the founding of Slovo a slovesnost (e.g., R. Jakobson, P. Bogatyrev, etc.). At the same time, as the main organizer of the First International Congress of Slavic Philologists in Prague in 1929, he agreed to set up a thematic section in which the theses of the Prague Linguistic Circle were announced. In the first issue of Slavia in 1922–1923, a survey study by Jakobson and Bogatyrev entitled “Slavjanskaja filologija v Rossii za gody 1914–1921” was published. Wollman, who after Murko was to become a candidate for the Chair of South Slavic Languages and Literatures at the Faculty of Arts in Prague, oriented himself towards the study of versology and stylistics, as reflected in his article “Njegošův deseterec” on the evolution of verse forms in the Serbo-Croatian verse (Slavia 1930–31). Murko also encouraged his student to write Slovesnost Slovanů (1928), a pioneering work that focused on the structural history of Slavic literatures as a history of timeless forms and structures.

Voices from the Past: Musical Tradition of Bosnia and Herzegovina Through the Research of Matija Murko
Matija Murko is one of the most significant foreign researchers of Bosnian folk music. In 1909, he conducted the first field research in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since he was unable to obtain adequate recording equipment, Murko took notes in the field and kept detailed records of his observations. He received a grant from the Balkan Commission of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Vienna to study epic poetry in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina during the summers of 1912 and 1913. In 1912, he made the first phonograph recordings in northwestern Bosnia. The following year, in 1913, he continued his research in Sarajevo and western Herzegovina. He had planned to extend his work into the summer of 1914, but the outbreak of World War I prevented him from doing so. Murko later returned to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1930 and 1931. During a well-organized three-month research period, he traveled to eastern Bosnia and Sarajevo. Murko’s recordings provide valuable insights into the performance of epic songs accompanied by the gusle and the two-stringed tambura, as well as sevdalinka songs performed with violin and saz accompaniment. This paper examines the significance of Murko’s research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, his methodological approach, and the field materials he collected.

Matija Murko in predfrancoski začetki slovenske primerjalne književnosti v 19. stoletju
Prispevek se ukvarja s komparativnimi raziskavami Matije Murka v njegovem dunajskem obdobju (1889–1902). Raziskave Povesti o sedmih modrecih, nastale tudi na pobudo Aleksandra Nikolajeviča Veselovskega, se vsaj deloma dotikajo tematologije. Murko denimo pripoved »Vidua« povezuje z »Efeško matrono« in to temo preučuje v ruskem ljudskem slovstvu ter v poljski književnosti. Del svoje raziskave pa je objavil v Kochovem Zeitschrift für vergleichende Litteraturgeschichte, tedaj edini periodični komparativistični publikaciji na svetu. Tri leta pred znamenitim pariškim komparativističnim kongresom, ki je leta 1900 za predmet raziskovanja določil medsebojne vplive evropskih književnosti, kar je vplivalo na razvoj francoske šole, je Murko objavil še monografijo Deutsche Einflüsse auf die Anfänge der böhmischen Romantik. V tej monografiji razume pojem »vpliv« predvsem v vzpostavljenih osebnih stikih med predstavniki češke in nemške književnosti, manj pa se ukvarja s podrobno primerjavo književnih del. V Murkovih dunajskih razpravah lahko zato vidimo predvsem predfrancoske začetke slovenske primerjalne književnosti.
