Extensive ethnography of the peoples of the Caucasus --- First edition of this unusual work on the ethnography and culture of the peoples of Caucasus and Central Asia. An important scientific text richly illustrated; an attractive, fresh example. Count Eugen [Jen ] Zichy (18371906) belonged to a celebrated noble Hungarian family. Having inherited his father Edmund's wealth and notable collections, he passionately dedicated all his free time to historical research. He was especially interested in the origins of his nation. Since one of the old tribes in the Caucasus was called Zikhi, Eugčne was convinced that the roots of his family were to be found in that region. He organised at his own expense three scientific expeditions to Russia, Central Asia and the Caucasus to find evidence supporting his theory. The expeditions included respected scholars that undertook ethnographical and cultural survey of the visited territories. In recognition of Zichy's contributions to science he was made an Honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1899. The present work, which Zichy dedicated to Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, contains findings of the first two expeditions undertaken in 189596, and the analysis of a large collection of artefacts, which Zichy donated to the National Museum of Hungary. The first volume, due to Dr. Janko from the National Museum, focuses on the variety of the population of the Caucasus and a bit Central Asia. He summarises the physical characteristics as well as all aspects of the local way of life and traditions. In a second part Janko details in great length Count Zichy's ethnographical collection, which also covers Central Asian regions such as Samarkand and Bukhara. The peoples studied are wide-ranging and include, among others, several Turkish peoples, all Georgian ethnic groups, Chechens, Jews etc. Janko's introduction lists a good bibliography on the subject. The second volume is written by Dr. Posta, also from the Museum, and is devoted to the archaeological findings in the Caucasus. It describes Zichy's artefacts and elaborates on the history of the local peoples. Both volumes are richly illustrated to show the various peoples, their costumes, everyday objects such as carpets, swords and horse accessories, dwellings and tools, historical buildings, jewelry and archaeological findings.
