In this article, we propose to study the two texts - The Annals of the Priest of
Dioclea, the oldest South Slavic text of great historical value, and The Song of
Roland, a song of gesture, usually dated from the last third of the eleventh
century, trying to treat them from a comparative and intercultural point of
view. The use of the comparative research method will take into account the
differences between cultural traditions and other issues relating to different
linguistic and social domains.
This work invites the construction of lines of inquiry that allow us to
establish “links of analogy, kinship and influence, to bring literature closer to
other areas of expression or knowledge, or the facts and literary texts between
them “(Pichois and Rousseau 174), to analyze relations between two works in
order to grasp the whole dimension of historical and cultural interaction.
