Antiquities_, and in his _Slavic Ethnography_. Palacky, a
distinguished Bohemian scholar, adopted the same opinion in his
_History of Bohemia_, Prague 1836. Both were combatted in a furious

printed separately under the title: _Der Pannonische Ursprung der
Slavischen Liturgie_. etc.]

quotes as his authority an envoy sent from some Caucasian prince to
the king of the Russians.
