Beschreibung

8vo, contemporary half parchment binding with marbled paper to boards, (2)+242 p.; nice copy, library stamp with stain on title-page and small hole on p. 2, otherwise clean. Interesting publication of two texts that won the competition of the Bataafsche Maatschappij about the prejudices of the people and the refutation of superstitions. In the first part, the Enkhuizen physician Gerbrand Bakker (1771 -1828) compiles a catalog of all possible forms of superstitions and cultural phenomena that a century later would become the object of research in the field of folklore. For example the fictional character Goedhart explains to the peasants Hendrik and Jacob that ghosts do not exist and that water spirits that draw people into the water are also products of the imagination.
