The Collected Works of Bronislaw Pitsudski: Materials for the Study of the Ainu Language and Folklore 2 (Trends in Linguistics Documentation)

Volume 3 is devoted exclusively to B. Pi?sudski's Ainu-related materials, for their most part previously unpublished. In addition, it comprises Pi?sudski's research reports on his expeditions, a superb collection of fifty prayers in Ainu as well as texts and melodies recovered from Pi?sudski's famous wax-cylinder recordings of Ainu-folklore of 1902-1903. The bibliographies printed in volume 1 are extensively enhanced. Abundant illustrative material is included.
