Croatian Folklore of Pécs – A young clergyman, Nikola Tordinac of Đakovo, Croatia (1858 –1888) went to Pécs (in Southern Hungary) in 1885 for medical care. While in Pécs he set about collecting the local Croatian customs and folklore. Tordinac sent his collected materials to the Academy in Zagreb before he died (in 1888). His findings were finally published in 1986 and then again in 2010. A Hungarian translation of a Croatian epic poem collected by Tordinac is published here. Report and Hungarian translation of the epic poemby Szavai József.
