Synopsis
Excerpt from Traditions of the Tinguian: A Study in Philippine Folk-Lore
The following myths were collected by the writer in 1907 - 8 during a stay of sixteen months with the Tinguian, a pagan tribe of northwestern Luzon in the Philippines. The material, for the most part gathered in texts, was partially translated in the Islands, while the balance was worked over during a brief visit to America in 1909. In this task I was assisted by Dumagat, a full blood Tinguian, who accompanied me.
While not, in all cases, giving a literal rendering, I have endeavored to follow closely the language of the story-tellers rather than to Offer a polished translation. In some cases, where it was impossible to record the tales when heard, only the substance was noted, a fact which will account for the meagerness of detail evident in a few of the stories.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth study of Tinguian traditions through Filipino folklore, primarily based on tales collected by the author during his stay in the Philippines in 1907-8. The author endeavors to reconstruct the Tinguian culture of the 'mythical period' described in the folk tales, contrasting this with present-day conditions and beliefs. The reconstruction reveals elements such as warfare, marriage customs, religious ceremonies, as well as supernatural interactions featuring prominent characters like Aponitolau, Dagolayan, and GaygayOma. These myths provide a window into the rich cultural heritage of the Tinguian people and offer valuable insights into their beliefs and customs, both past and present.
