Hi Steve,

Is that the 1980 bilingual edition by Leon Levitchi? I've just found it listed in Google Books. It must be a selection. Amzulescu identifies 352 ballad types in his 1964 collection, so there's no way they could all be represented in a one-volume edition. Unlike Child, Amzulescu just gives one or two texts for each ballad type but he gives references to other versions that had been published up till then -- including more than 40 in the case of "Milea".
