About this Item
Very Good (covers & contents nice with small bump top of spine). Tall 8vo., printed wraps; 20 pages Signed presentation from Loorits to a fellow professor on the front endpaper. An off-print from the journal- an ethnological journal for Scandinavia and the Baltic States, published three times a year. A scarce signature! Loorits [1900-1961) was an Estonian folklorist. He initially studied folklore at the University of Tartu and obtained his doctorate in 1926. Between 1927 and 1941, he was a lecturer in Estonian and Comparative Folklore, also being a director of the Estonian Folklore Archives. In 1938 he became a member of the Estonian Academy of Sciences and, in 1944, he fled the Soviet occupation to Sweden and worked there until 1947 as an archive assistant. From then until shortly before his death he held a position in the folk archives of the University of Uppsala. Seller Inventory # 56631
