Ezaugarriak: Noted Basque ethnographer José
Miguel de Barandiarán was an exceptional witness to an entire century
of the history of the Basque Country. He was born in 1889 and died in 1991,
just prior to his 102nd birthday, having remained active until
a year before his death. An ordained priest, he dedicated most of his life
to researching the past of his homeland. His research included excavating
caves and dolmens as well as recording the traditional lifeways, legends,
and superstitions of the Basque people. His findings were published in hundreds
of articles appearing in the Anuario de Eusko-Folklore and other
journals, as well as several monographs.
This work includes an extensive introduction by the editor, Jesús Altuna,
with biographical information on Barandiarán and a discussion of the
selected writings from Barandiaran’s books: “Mitología
vasca” (“Basque Mythology”), “El Hombre prehistórico
en el País Vasco” (“Prehistoric Man in the Basque Country”),
and “Bosquejo etnografico de Sara” (“An Ethnographic Sketch
of Sara”). Also included are a number of Barandiaran’s drawings, photographs,
a bibliography, and an index.
