Motives of Baptism in Tasso's and Preseren's Poems. The treatise starts with a short overview of studies dealing with Tasso's influence on Prešeren. The main part of the treatise deals with the motives of baptism in Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata and Prešeren's Turjaška Rozamunda and Krst pri Savici. Through the discussion of all conversions, the original thesis is given that the circumstances of Črtomir's baptism in Preseren's poem, and Clorinda's conversion in Tasso's epic, show evident similarities.
