Norbert Fisch şi colecţia sa folclorică din Munţii Apuseni
The folkloristic activity of Norbert Fisch

Summary/Abstract: This work deals with the folkloristic activity, little known so far, developed by Norbert Fisch, a Romanian research worker of German origin from Timişoara. Compiled between 1974 and 1982, when the folklorist undertook about 50 documentary expeditions in the Western Mountains area, his collection contains over 200 popular legends and stories of etiological, mythological and above all, historical character. They are accompanied by 72 illustrations, mostly black and white, but also colour, drawn by the folklorist himself. Along with other publications of this kind, this collection proves the great folkloric richness of the Western Mountains area, which was severely contested by some Romanian folklorists of the past.
