THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE HASDEU DYNASTY TO THE RESEARCH OF THE TRADITIONAL CULTURE OF BESSARABIA (ON THE OCCASION OF THE 185TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF THE SCIENTIST BOGDAN PETRICEICU-HASDEU)

Summary/Abstract: In the present approach, the author refers to the historical beginning of folklore research in Bessarabia. In order to be able to follow their evolution, the exposition starts from the precursors of Romanian folkloristics, conventionally concentrating them around some personalities who contributed to a greater or lesser extent to this itinerary. Analyzing this early stage of development, he notes that the Hâjdău- Hasdeu dynasty of folklorists, who were active in the two periods of the formation of folklore (pre- folkloristics and folkloristics as a science), had the largest contribution in this sense. It also highlights the most important folklore studies and materials that appeared in these periods, recorded and published by the brothers Alexandru and Boleslav Hâjdău and Bogdan Petriceicu-Hasdeu.
