Catalogue of Greek Magic Folktales (Folklore Fellows Communications, No. 303) by G. A. Megas, Anna Angelopoulos, Aigli Brouskou, Marianthi Kaplanoglou, Emmanouela Katrianaki

Academia Scientiarum Fennica. 2012. Hard cover. Fine.. 350 p. Includes bibliography. . The collected texts cover a period of more than a century of recordings (from the second half of the nineteenth century up to the mid-1970s) and geographically cover not only the entire Greek territory and Cyprus but also other areas where Greek populations live(d) and Greek cultures thrive(d) (Asia Minor, Pontus, Cappadocia, Southern Italy). Georgios A. Megas drafted the first catalogue, gathering and indexing all published and unpublished Greek folktale versions, so that the number of texts finally exceeded 23 000. A group of specialists continued for nearly 30 years carrying this project, consulting, classifying, and commenting G. Megas' handwritten card indexes, and finally editing this rich material, scattered in public and private archives.
