Sayfa 751 / 788

68 See Goszczynski's poem, The Castle of Kaniow. [This poem, by

Seweryn Goszczynski (1803-76) was published in 1828. The

reference is probably to the following passage: "Does that

prattling oak whisper in his ear sad tales of the disasters of

this land, when beneath its sky the gloomy vulture of slaughter

extended a dread shadow with bloody wings, and after it streamed

clouds of Tatars?"]

69 ["Those used for the candles regularly lit by the Jews on

Friday at sunset, to avoid the 'work' of kindling light or fire

on the Sabbath."-M. A. Biggs.]

70 Kolomyjkas are Ruthenian songs resembling the Polish mazurkas.

[Ostrowski states that these are popular airs that are sung and

danced at the same time. Naganowski adds that the first word is

derived from the town of Kolomyja in Galicia. Mazurka is "merely

the feminine form of Mazur," a Masovian.]

pp. 325, 326, 334.]
