Popular beliefs and folklore tradition in Siberia (Budapest, 1968)

POPULAR BELIEFS AND FOLKLORE TRADITIONS IN SIBERIA Edited by V. DIÓSZEGI As a result of international co-operation some thirty­­three papers in this volume are focussed on the problems of popular beliefs in Siberia, a specific terrain of Re­­guly’s activity, that have so far been rather neglected. The reader is acquainted with — besides the life and work of this much respected pioneer of Siberian research — various aspects of the history of religion of nearly all Siberian, as well as some non-Siberian, Finno-Ugric and Turkish peoples. Impor­tant new data concerning the relevant questions of ethnography, linguistics and archaeology are provided by distinguished experts of sev­eral countries, including representatives of the Vo­­gul, Kazan, Tatar, Gilyak, and other topically interes­ted nationalities.
