The
Fanes' saga - Researches on the Legend
This
chapter is divided into the nine parts listed below. The first
contains an extremely short hint to Ladinians, then quickly summarizes
how their legends, specifically the Fanes cycle, have been recovered
from the edge of oblivion, and mentions a few critical essays
on them. The second part clarifies the rationale and the purpose
of my attempt to interpret the legend background and formation
mechanism. The third section outlines what, in my opinion, still
remains to do on the subject. The fourth one contains informations
and remarks on single important works. The fifth one is a comparison
between Wolff's
original texts in German and their Italian translations, adding
the chapters translated by me. The sixth section is a preliminary
list of Wolff's
works translated into languages different from German and Italian.
The seventh one is a comparative sketch between two rather different
Authors, both experts in folklore: Wolff
and J.R.R. Tolkien. The eighth page is a translation of G.Innerebner's
paper on his "archaeological researches" in the Fanes
mountains. The last page is just a bibliographical list.
