The article proceeds from the assumption that Herder has been poorly served by his editors, at least when it comes to Ossianic matters. Patterns of misinformation have been allowed to become established and major research, such as the work of Gillies on Herder and Ossian, is too often simply bypassed. Nor are important primary sources, notably Hugh Blair's Critical Dissertation and Denis's translation of Ossian, consulted as they should be, given their significance for Herder's essay, ‘Über Oßian und die Lieder alter Völker’. The article begins with an illustration of this by attempting to trace the provenance of the Lapp song quoted by Herder in his essay and explain what he means by ‘aus der dritten Hand’
