Gods from the Ancient Slavs if this was printed provided an invaluable and comprehensive overview of the literature on Slavic mythology, with extensive notes and bibliography, which makes it a superlative springboard for more research and interpretation within this interdisciplinary crossroads of Slavic background and philology. In granting permission to publish this scanned form of the written text, the writer expressed the fervent wish that could be retypeset. This illustrates the pre-computer condition of numerous Slavica publications, which in 1980 were frequently “typeset” with an IBM Selectric III typewriter, with a large number of specialized or custom-designed typing elements. However a free reprint such as this one just can’t support the fee for OCR-ing the job, after which doing the extensive cleanup needed for that necessary amount of precision. Therefore we apologize towards the author, along with other authors, and take refuge within the assumption that submissions are more essential to scholars than form. Slavica want to express its sincere because of Myroslava Znayenko for graciously granting permission with this reprint. We welcome comments about this along with other forthcoming titles to be sold within this series.
