Erfunden und gestochen von Moritz Retzsch. Mit Buerger’s Text und Erklaerungen von Carl Borromaeus von Miltitz, nebst Englischer Uebersetzung von F. Shoberl”). In fact, the translation of ‘The Parson’s Daughter’ (and possibly that of ‘The Song of the Brave Man’) is by Collier; ‘Leonora’ appears in Benjamin Beresford’s translation. See A. &amp; J.
