Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by historian Willard Fiske (1831-1904) is based on his research during his stay in the lower Engadine valley between late summer of 1881 and early autumn 1894. It represents a pioneering work in the field of Rhaeto-Romanic studies, and it is still a valuable resource for scho…lars. The comprehensive volume provides critical analysis of this unique collection of books and documents housed at the Cornell University Library. It comprises religious literature, folk tales, and historical accounts, including materials such as ritual texts, almanacs, catechisms, prayer books, primers, translations, and popular chapbooks, all printed in several distinct Rhaeto-Romanic dialects. These dialects occur as a diverse group of approximately six distinct written (and many more spoken) dialects found in the mountainous canton of Grisons. Although the Rhaeto-Romanic languages are closely related to Romansh, their written forms demonstrate notable phonetic and morphological differences as well as distinct literary traditions. The book remains one of the critical works of an understudied but vibrant literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
