Second edition of Verzeichnis der altbömischen Exempel

Petja Kauppi — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 13:00:17 +0000

It is thanks to folklorist Jan Luffer and medievalist Kamil Boldan that an international edition of the Czech exempla index has finally been realized. The latter made contacts with Dvorák as a young scholar during his research into a manuscript in the Czech national library, Historiae variae moralisatae, written in the end of the fourteenth century. The 230 exempla texts there were not included in the first edition but were incorporated into the present edition by Dvorák and Boldan in collaboration, a work that was completed by Boldan after Dvorák’s death.
