Bartha Lajos: A magyar nép csillaghagyománya

Lajos Bartha: The Star Tradition of the Hungarian People

"Observing the phenomena of the sky, its daily and yearly changes has been part of the folk knowledge of nature for thousands of years. It was once an important part of the division of time and orientation. Over the last two centuries, ethnographers have recorded a wealth of data on the Hungarian knowledge of the sky, its variations from one region to another and its folk explanations. In this book, I have tried to summarize the most typical data, legends and ideas."

The magnificent hardcover edition runs to 256 pages.
