On the occasion of the first of these supplements (Knoles about the Battle of Kosovo) the editorial office of NIN published this note too: “The poet and novelist Milosh Crnjanski has sent to the editorial office of “NIN” three texts, written especially for our journal. The first longer text we are publishing in this issue”. (July 12 1964, p. 8-9). As far as | remember it, the news that Crnjanski would return. to Yugoslavia raised a great interest and excitement generally, especially in literary circles. Of course, a person of such a fame and reputation was waited for also in the circles of politicians and inteligentsia in a broader sense. All expected to experience and hear what Crnjanski would say when he is after so many years in the country of his youth.

He would see the same streets and many same buildings, but in essence nothing would be same. He would turn his head in vain in order to notice himself somewhere. His friends and admirers were probably doing their best to calm the storm he felt while trying to see, ina street, in the air, at home, between the four walls, himself - Milosh Crnjanski known only by him. In vain! Such a Milosh Crnjkanski was met by him nowhere anymore. He still walked, inhaled the air and looked at the world around him, but it seemed that he was closest to himself having opened a book and begun to leaf through it from cover to cover. And so, in the excitement that had seized Belgrade at that time, a meeting and talk with the writer Milosh Crnjanski was organized in The Association of Writers at 7 Francuska street.

I had expected to see Djordje Kostic for sure, but did not see him cither. I felt ill when I concluded that there was nobody of his pupils whom Crnjanski for atime taught history. Itwould have been easier to me if at least I had been able to approach him and greet him on behalf of his former, old pupils. It always means something. Yet, on that evening my greatest wish was to approach him as a historian and express my great satisfaction on the occasion of his articles published in NIN. However, my desire to talk with him a couple of words about his articles on archeology and older history of the Balkans and Great Britain was unfeasible in that crowd. I expected in vain that somebody else would mention something about that side of his interest too, but there was not a word about it either. I gota thought that perhaps Crnjanski himself did not want to talk at that meeting about that side of his interest, but I wondered both then and later on why those article were being published in the press at all when nobody was interested in them, either at that meeting or later on. 3auTo cy ce TH YWlaHNH yormTe W1ojaBs_MBATM Y HITaMuM Kay Ce 3a mux yommTe HHKO HHje HHTepecoBaO, HM Ha TOM CKyIy 1H je.

To that purpose I published, in The Supplements for the Literature, Language, History and Folk Lore 1987 - 1988, book LIII - LIV, vol 1-4, of The Faculty of Philosophy, Belgrade 1990, an article under the title “On the Occasion of the Text by Milosh Crnjanski about the Archeological Connections of the Balkans”. Of course, considering that Crnjanski at his time with lot of reasons tried by his supplements to call attention of scientific community to a need for a more thorough research on the cited connections, | tried myself too to convince the readers by some my results that the problem was really worthwhile, but the cited article in 1990 remained entirely without a y\a HCKHM CBOjMM pe3synTaTHMa yGenmm unraoue ja je mpo6mem 3ancra BpeyaH Naxkwe, am je HapeyjeHH "WiaHaK 43 1990. ocrao y nOTHYHOCTH Ge3 TOSHTHBHOT O;,jeKa, y erpapit Ge3 mkaKpor ojfjeKa.

As, yet, the interest in the prehistory of the Balkan and Europian peoples generally, the Serbian people being also among them, has grown in our environment too in the last several years, I got an idea that it might be useful to remind once more what had been whereby Milosh Crnjanski at his time tried to call our attention to the possible mutual connections of the peoples remote from each other both temporally and spatially. His supplements are the more attractive when we know that we are still in a great incertainty regarding the origin of the Indoeuropian peoples. among which we rightfully include the Serbs too. Not accepting the very simplified theory about a Baltic origin of the Balkan Serbs and their arrival to Balkan Peninsula in about the first half of VII c.B.C., we found ourselves in a despair wondering, if our an- cestors had not come from the Elbe Basin in VII century, where then they come from and when to the today’s Balkan habitats.

In that great dilemma, searching for the data that would give us any basis for accepting some of the mentioned theories ‘we can not be uninterested in the data given by Crnjanski in his writings “The Archeological Connections of the Balkans” either. Moreover, we would say that his descriptions have a strength of arguments, and we can not discard them because of mere disbelief. We have to look for and ascertain their track wondering how they found themselves where we find them, who was first to mention and record them, and what they mean there and elsewhere where we are finding the same forms. A fear of a possible failure can not justify us. A limited success need not to be understood as a failure. Conform- ing to that rule I think that the supplements by Crnjanski are still to be used as a kind of road sign toward a knowledge greater than the present one. Let the readers of this book not reproach my repeating in it almost all which Crnjanski at his time considered he should have said. Maybe at this mTo je cajamme.

Consequently, directing the readers to the contents of his writings from 1964, Crnjanski began from the title “The Archeological Connections of the Balkans”, by these words: “Although it seems incredible at the first glance, there were archeological connections bet- ween the British Isles and the territory of today’s Yugoslavia, (thinking of that from 1964), as early as in prehistorical time”. If we accept the short encyclo- pedian explanation of the notion “prehistory”, then, according to some, it would have been a period from the first appearance of the man until the time from which at particular ethnical groups, tribes and peoples the first written documents appeared accepted by science as trustworthy ones. Since the first written documents at particular peoples do not appear at the same time, it has been assumed that the temporal boundary beetween prehistory and history does not coincide in all spaces either, nor one temporal boundary refers to all peoples.

J.B.S. Holdane. Crnjanski says for him that he wrote in one popular article that the British Isles were in prehistory a colony of the territory where is today’s Yugoslavia. Having called this Holdanes opinion a witty joke, Crnjanski notes that that joke was most severely criticized by Jaqueta Hawkes, for whom he notes that is the most famous British archeologer, that is to say that Holdane’s opinion has not been accepted in serious scientific circles. Since it has been always very important to ascertain whether, when and to which extent existed a common pre- historical culture between the Balkans and the British Isles, Crjanski cited in relation to it the Irish archeologer in Dublin, prof. Mac Alister, for whom he says that had believed in a great antiquity of those connections thinking that the metropolis of Opuranckux ocrpsa, LpHancKH je y beam c THM Haneo upcKor apxeonora y JaGauny, mporpe- copa Mak Aamerepa (Mac Alister), 3a Kora Kaxke ya je neporao y jtyGoky crapocr THX Be3a cMaTpajyhu ya je Merporioma, ‘re kyntype Guna Bunsa.

At the mention of Vincha Crnjanski could not but to call attention also to prof. Miloje Vasic, taking advantage of an opportunity to say that himself had been a pupil of Vasic. Of course that after this datum it is more clear to you from where with Crnjanski this sense for archeology and a special interest in archeological conn- ections of the Balkans. When Crjanski pointed at one place to the Mac Alister’s emphasizing the meaning of the Celts, he also underlined that “For our reader, in our country, that connection in the time of Celts deserves the most attention. In our opinion, Crnjanski adds, there is, doubtlessly, in the prehistory of the British Isles, not only one Illyrian substratum, but also one Vendian” (underlined by R.N.). Staying with the mention of the “Illyrian” connections Crjan- ski reminds that those “Illyrian” connections were also pointed to by mrs Hawkes, for whom he says that is an expert for archeological connections with the Balkans. “Those connectons, Crnjanski says, were being underlined also by the famous archeologists of Scottish Universities professor Stuart Piggot. They all admit early Illyrian traces in the pre- je excnepr 3a apxeonoumke ne3ze ca Bankanom. “Te nese je, uponykapa Upancku, nogpma- “HO WM YBEHH apxeouor WKOT- ckux YHuBepsuTeTa mpodecop Crjyapr Muror (Stuart Piggot).

But since we are already at those Crnjanski’s notes about the Illyrian traces in Britain observed by prominent British scientists, I believe that it will not be excessively to recall already here what was written about the Illyrian traces on our Yugoslavian soil by some writers somewhat older than the mentioned British ones. So, that it is worthwhile to remain little more at the observations of British scientists in relation to the Illyrian traces in the British Isles as early as prehistorical times we would say as if it is proved to us by the observations by an anonimous writer from the year 1981 in the book “Historisch-Topographische Beschreibung von Bosnien und Serbien mit besonder Hinsicht auf die neuesten Zeiten mit einer Karte, Wien 1821”. There the writer devotes to Illyrians from the page 52 some very significant observations under the title “Geschichte von Bosnien und Serbien”. Already the first sentences indicate that the writer was convinced that inhabitants of Serbia and Bosnia are of a very old origin: “The inhabitants, he gallaxkama m0 HacmOBOM “Geschichte von Bosnien und Serbien”. _ Beh npse peuenune yKasyjy ja je mucan Gno yGeheH qa cy cranosuuun Cp6uje 1 Bocre neoma crapor Topexsa: “Cra- HOBHUMM, KaxKe OH, KOjm jaHac nacralbyjy Kpaesmne Bocwe # Cp6uje Bone nopexno of jemHor oy wajerapujux # majpacmpo- crpamenujux Hapoya, HaHMe oj crapax nnpa”.

Their great an- tiquity, the writer says, is confirmed also by the fact that some tribes of this people fought in the Trojan War as allies of the Greeks, and they also fought against the Persians and Romans. Intime the Romans conquered the Illyrian tribes and provinces. In the time of Trajan Thracia and Dacia were attached to Illyria, all the way to the Carpathian Mountains, and then the Roman rule was expanded all the way to the Black Sea. During the reign of the emperor Constantin, the writer narrates on, a special Illyrian prefecture was established with two dieceses, Macedonian and Dacian ones, and 17 provinces. In VI century Illyricum consisted of 16 provinces. In time the Illyrians peoples were expanding also over the territories of the Sarmatians and Get and reached northward as far as New Land, all the way to near the Northern Pole. When in time the climate and other conditions forced them to abandon those regions with a cruel climate, the Illyrian tribes were returning to the south uniting mipema cenepy JOMpmH Tak Oo Hose 3emme, cre no 6nusy cepepHor Toma.

It is interesting that the chronicler of this happenings underlines that at the return there were not forceful shifts and that none of the remaining Illyrians was not being expelled or exterminated. That the anonimous chro- nicler was convinced that Illyrians were nothing but forefathers of the Slavs, and thus of the Serbs too, we would say is clearly confirmed by a table where he classified all Illyrian tribes into 5 groups. Looking at his table conspicious is the fifth group with designation “The Illyrians in a Narrower Sense” where by name the Dalmatians, Croats, Slavonians, Bosnians, Serbs and Rashans, Dubrovnians and Poljicians, Albanians and Montenegrins are enumerated. When somewhat later he spoke about the inhabitants of Serbia for which he said that at the time of appearance of this book (1821) had 960 000 inhabitants, the writer emphasized specially that the inhabitants of Serbia, called Serbs and Rashans, are of the same origin as Bosnians and that they have the same language - Illyrian.

At the mention of Iljurik (Illyria) the chronicler recorded that it encompassed the northwestern, coastal part of the Balkan Peninsula, adding that the borders of Illyric as of a province of the Roman Empire had been established in the first half of I c.A.D. and encompassed a part of the territory of today’s Yugoslavia. When the chronicler, then, immediately after Illyria, menti- oned the Slavs, the commentator of this chronicle information interpreted it as the Slavs were mentioned because the chronicler was convinced that the Slavs had lived in Illyria originally. Having mentioned then the apostle Paul too, for whom he says that had visited Illyric and spread Christianity there, the chronicler was convinced that could righfully say that “there the first Slavs were there”. When we know all this it seems to us that we understand better why some British scientists point out several times “the Illyrian traces in the prehistorical age of the British Isles”.

In that sense Crnjanski still points out his observations by these words: “Already ancient historians mention the connections between the British Isles and those countries which are Slavie today, especially the connections with today’s Russia, Ukraine. Plinius, for example, reminds of the similarity in the religious cere- monies of the British and Persians in his time. Tacitus, in his book on Germania, says that the language spoken on the coast of the Baltic Sea, where Aesti (Ests) live, is similar to the language spoken by the British of his time. Strabo finds that the institutions of the inhabitants of the British Isles are similar to those Samothracian. As a historian, Crnjanski was versed also in medieval historical literature and therefore he underlines rightfully that the medieval chroniclers and his- torians were percieving a simi- larity between the toponymy of the British Isles and the Mlyrian and Vendian, and especially Scythian countries.

Citing some examples from literature referring to ‘The Middle Age, Crmjanski cites first of all the Anglo-Saxonian Chronicle, the oldest chronicle of England, where, he says, is writen that the ancient inhabitants of the island came from Arminia, whereas Isidor from Sevilla (a writer from TV century) notes that the ancient population of Scotland, called Picts (The Dyed), came from Scythia. At that place now Crnjanski mentions Beda Vene- rabilis for whom he says that in his History of the Church uf England said for the Picts “Gente Pictorum de Scythia”. The same opinion, of the Scots being Scythians by origin, was su- pported also by Robert Munro. Generally, Crnjanski says, such and similar opinions had been supported all the time until the tule of queen Victoria, not only in popular but also in strictly scientific literature. The change took place, Crmjanski narrates on, with the predomination of the modern English archeology, which discarded some of those opinions (Robert Munro).

As one of such examples Crnjanski cites the opinion by Jaqueta Hawkes regarding the settlement of the British Isles in the prehistorical ages by a population considered by mrs Hawkes to have been “an immigration from Brittany in France and Vendee”. And for those colonists she says, explicitly, that they were Veneti and Illyrians adding that she “finds in the excavated objects in the British Isles a trace of ‘somewhat oriental genius of the Scythians’”. Very interesting observations are presented by Crnjanski also in relation to the findings by professor Piggot who, he says, was claiming “that all the structure of the prehistorical society, Irish, and the way of warring of Ireland is such as it has been preserved in the Sanskrit texts. The heroic poems of the Irish, he says, from the Iron Ages of the Celts, are similar to those texts. And similar connections are also found in Wales”.

Persistent in his desire to interest the readers as much as possible in the numerous problems from archeology and history and possible early connections between the Balkans and the British Isles, Crnjanski, before passing to the other examples of those connections, explains by these words the need for pointing likewise to the other confirmations of those connec- tions: “In order to interest our reader in what has been said in the first article about the arche- ological connections of the Balkans with the British Isles and for many other things too, that will be said in the other articles, the writer of these lines thinks that it ypyre WOTBpHe THX jaBHALIHHX se3a: “Jia Gu ce Hal dHTaNall 3aHATepecoBaH 3a OHO ITO je peueno y MpBom waHky 0 apxcoulOlikuM RezaMa Baskana ca GpuTaHcKUM OCTpBHMa m 3a jom MHoro mo mra, urro he Guru peyeno y ocramuM ugaHuMMa, MHCatl OBHX PeqoBa cmatpa ja he Our HajGome ja ykaxke Ha BenyeKe Tparope y ‘TonOHMMujH TpeHcTopHjcKe Ex- raceke”.

And at that place Crnjanski now calls attention immediately to the famous professor of archeology W.F. Albriht who in his recent book about archeology of Palestina called attention that “language always was a primary indication of belonging to one national culture, whereas the shape of the skull and color of hair usually were weaker evidence. They do not mean much. The evidence of place are better”. ‘Asa proof of justification of that opinion Crnjanski cites several Vendian names “that are identical or similar in the ancient geographical maps of England and Vendian and Slavic countries. Thus, Crnjanski says, one can find in the ancient geographical maps of England: Venedotia, Vindobona, Vindonesa, Vindomere, Vindogara, Vindelia, Vindoclana, Vindolanda, Vindobela, Venduna etc”.” With these names Crnjanski adds this explanation too: “Venedotia is the ancient name of Wales. and the ancient name of the place known today as the royal court ‘Windsor was Vindleshora”. Mentioning, further on, in an ancient map a place with name Ternavia, Crnjanski adds: “The 26 Vindonesa, Vindomere, Vindogara, Vindelia, Vindoclana, Vindolanda, Vindobela, Venduna urg.”. ¥3 ope nagune LipmaHeKH jJojlaje H OBO o6jammene: “Benenoruja je aHTH4Ko ume Benca, a anTHUKO. me Mecta koje je cayla MosHaTo Kao KpasbeBckH Bop Bury30p Gunno je Vindlesora”.

Among really numerous names cited by Crjanski as the proofs of existence of the ancient connections between the British Isles and the Slavic spaces the designation Blatum is certainly also very interesting and att- ractive, for which he says that “has been interpreted explicitely as an earthy fortress”, adding that it exists also in both Moravska and Serbia (Blato, Blatno, in so many Slavic provinces). “In the Vendian Gallia Blatum is a fortress of the tribes called Belovaci. In the Vendian Hun- garia there was the fortress of Pribine”. Crnjanski, obviously, did not intent to write a separate study about these and other connections, but it is indisputable that the examples cited by him are precious as a stimulus for writing such studies. Therefore we are grateful to Crnjanski for his inducing us by these and other examples to think about the necessity of such studies based perhaps even just on these and pyr Be3ama [Mile noceGuy crymuiy, aan je HeocnopHO ja cy TIpHMepH KOje OH HaBonH [pa- ONeHH Kao LONCTHTIAj 3a TIMCAHLe rakBHX cTysmja. aro CMO 3a- xpagnu UlpHancKoM ITO Hac HanobeweM OBmx HM Apyrix ipHMepa Tlopcruye Wa pasa [lbaMO © HEOTIXOAHOCTH TAKBHX cryjuja 3acHOBaHEX MOKA caMO Ha OBMM M )[pyrHM HasHBH- Ma Koje je OH 3amla3Ho, a Koje 6vicMo MOpaJiM OMYHHTH jarbHM VCTpa>KMBaHbeM HBBOPA OBE BPCTE.

Jenan other designations he noticed, and which we would have to complete by a further research on the sources of these kind. Convinced that he is right in his directing us to the research on such sources Crnjanski also calls our attention to “...meta- morphoses in the maps of the local fortress and camp), which are now Salisbury. The ancient name was Sarum. In the first registration of the places in England in The Middle Ages (Doomsday Book) it was recorded as: Sarisbery. In the Antoninian itinerary, ho- wever, we find the name of the place as: Sorbiodun”. The mentions of the designations Sarum and So- rbiodun gave to Crnjnskia pretext for saying this too: “Already at Ptolomeus there was one Sarum. At him it is found on a river being eminently Slavic, on the Dnepar, and there is Sorbiodun likewise in the Vendian, Lusitian maps. One is found in the map near Regensburg. Then there is one in Gaul. On the so-called Ravenian Geography that place name becomes: Sorba, Servola, Sor- biacum”. ‘Although an impression is got that Crnjanski cites some examples by the way, they are nevertheless precious, for, had 28 ce Hana3u Ha kapru Gumsy Pe- rencGypra. 3aTHM HMa jejaH y Tanwju.

The very title of the next article “The Vendian Traces in Britain” announced that there would be discussed new evidence of the ancient connections be- tween the remote Europian spaces, Crnjanski begins this his new supplement with the very information “that all British archeologists today agree in the thesis that the Celtic population of The British Isles in Cornwall in Ireland had passed in the prehistorical times from Brittany and Vendee”, adding “that there can not be a doubt regarding the connections with Vendee. As early as the time when Caesar lived Vendee was Vendian. Brittany is, as well, Celtic by centuries. That Celtic, Brittanian language, the costume of the inhabitants of Brittany, all the folk Jore, resemble oddly likewise to the Slavic traces.

In relation to this findings and notes Crnjanski adds also this very interesting observation: “The last, splendid, Celtic tombs were found in the royal tomb in the place Vix. The French archeologists called that trace “Sarmatian”. Professor Joeffry from the museum in the place Chatillion, on the Senne, said: “Perhaps they are Scythian?” With what an attention Crnjanski monitored the results of all these finds is witnessed by this his remark too: “While studyng that migration from Vendee to Cornwall Crnjanski says for himself that was surprised by the metamorphosis of the toponymy and places he was finding on that coast of France, where the population of the Celtic England obviously had come from. The coast opposite to the British Isles, Crnjanski says, was called Vendian in prehistory. In the maps: Armorica. The word is not only Bretonian; Celtic, ar-morik, but, obviously, also Slavophonic.

With Chaldeians the word is thalatth, and that is “thalassa” at Greeks. Talas in Slavic languages." Feeling the importance of these and such notions for the ascertaining the linguistic conn- ections between the peoples from mutually distant spaces Crnjanski still stays with the notions marking the geographical po- sitions and movements of the Vends. “The lands beside the sea, he says, the seashore, is exactly that coast in Poland, on the Baltic, on the Adriatic where the Vendian Sea is, the Vendian gulfs, in the ancient maps. In the war of Charlemagne against the Villtzi, the Sorbs, those countries in Poland where still called the coast, Pomorana. However, in the so- called “The Book of Invasions” of Ireland, according to the aforementioned professor from Dublin, the famous archeologist Mac Alister, those immigrants were called “Fomorians”. The word has not interpretation. The Irish archeologist Mac Cullogh goes so far that he says that the name meant “marine demons”. And that the fantasy is fancifull.

When mentioning “Vendian names of the places and tribes, tribal ones", Crnjanski empha- sizes that they appear for the first time in the far north. “The Finish, he says, call the Russians Venaya. The Svedish kings crown themselves for “the king of the Vends”. In the so-called Sage of the Isles of Orkney (the year 995) it is still said for Olaf Trygvi to have come from the land of Vends”. Appreciating rightfully the significance of the name Vends for a better knowledge of the ancestors of the Slavs and generally for a better knowledge of a great group of the Indo- europians, Crnjanski tries to encompass as broad geographical space as possible where the names of the Vends appear in different variants. Thus he says also for the Vendian tribes Wiltzi, Veltae “to have been at first on the coast of the Baltic, with Tacitus. We find then the Wiltzi on the Elbe. Then, he says, there are some of them in France. Finally in England, where one ancient province has their name: Wiltshire. So-called “Ve- ndian Gulf” we find first at Danzig, Gdansk.

Later on they are seen in the maps in Ireland. In. our opinion, Crnjanski says, those are not concoctions of antique scholars, but migrations”. Referring several times to the archeological findings of mrs Hawkes, Crnjanski as if accepts also her opinion about the passing of the Illyrians to the British Isles caused, as he says, by a known instinct for land, typical in Illyrian tribes. That is true. The cause is certainly the numerosity of those peoples. Already Iordanes recorded the Vends being a numerous people: “natio populosa”. Crnjanski was convinced that that shifting of the Vendian traces westward is obvious also in ancient maps, citing as evidence the names Vindelicie, Veltidene, Augusta Vindelico- rum found in the maps of Germany, Suisse and Belgium, at which he says “There is a poor likelihood that those can be archaisations by the scribes”.

With them are, Crnjanski adds, the Meduls too, which are quite certainly the Vends”. As it could be noted in the writings of Crnjanski several times the Vends and their movements are mentioned, but those of other peoples as well which from the Europian land, especially from Germania, were coming to the British Isles. Crnjanski mentions again there Beda Venerabilis who described the arrival of the Angli and Sasi to Britain. Likewise the No- rvegian philologer, professor Somerfeld, says regarding the Angli and Sasi: “The place of the Anglo-Saxonians in the Baltics was occupied by the Slavs”, whereupon Crnjanski reminds rightfully that “there were similar shifts before that too” and at that place continues: “It will be interesting for our readers to see, for example, the nomenclature of the Celtic and Vendian tribes found in the Roman maps in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales”.

In this case those are Boduni, Dobuni, Dumnoni, Co- rnovii, Carni, Carnuti, Morini, Boristheni, Gotti, Goritani, Lugit, Ladeni, Miathi, Rutheni, Moravii. “All those tribes, Crnjanski says, are found both in Vendian and Slavic history, and it is litle probable that are a fruit of “antiquarian studies” and reco- nstructions of the past of various scribes. How could it be possible, he adds, that the antique scholars and scribes were choosing right Vendian names in the Roman time”. ‘When, in enumerating the tribes mentioned he also mentioned the tribe of Miathi, Crnjanski added that Cassius Dio says for them “that at the defense and in retreat they hid themselves in the swamps up to their throats and spend hiddenly, in that way, several weeks without food”. Otherwise, as we have already noticed, Crnjanski mentions several times Veneds, Vends.

Professor Maver, a famous philologist, agrees to include them into Protoslays”. Regardless of such dififerent opinions Crnjanski concludes that “for our reader, and our archeologists, it will be interesting to see the migrations and the names mentioned of the ancient tribes in England or at least westward”, Thus, for example, Crnjan- ski reminds that Herodotus was finding the Boduni on the Don, and Ptolomeus the Rutheni first of all in the so-called Vendian hills behind the Black Sea, then in the Carpathians and finally in Caesar’s Gaul, adding that “it is difficult consider the toponymy of Caesar as a concoction”. k For the Carni Crnjanski says that they have left their trace in the toponymy of Austria, in Carinthia, in Carantanum, in the Vendian Carniola “that is Slovenia today, and on the British Isles that trace is found in Cornualia, today’s Cornwall. The most ancient Russian chronicler, ‘Nestor, mentions them, Crnjanski says, as Horutani, first in the then in the Baltics".

The Boristeni are found by Russian historian Vernadsky on the Dnepar, while in the Balkans, Crnjanski says, we find them as the tribe Brsjatsi. As to the Coritans Crnjanski is of opinion that their trace is found along Koritnik, while we find the aforementioned Miathi in Albania. Pointing to the past examples Crnjanski states that it is difficult to accept the opinion “that ancient and medieval scribes concocted and cheated, always and everything. And always from the Slavic and Vendian pre- history. Why would they, he says, have chosen right those tribes which are, in Ptolomeus, under the name Peucini, and moved them from the Danube mouth to Scotland? They could have left the Gotti and Ladeni in, for example, the Alps, and take something closer. And not the names from as far as Scythia. That moving of the Europian popu- lation, however, Crnjanski says, is not ruled out at all”.
