Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 19th century, the attention of ethnographic researchers was drawn to local variations in the same phenomena within folk culture. By the end of the century, the first typologies in accordance with this point of view were compiled in the Czech lands. This tendency to compiletypologies corresponded to the view of the social sciences and culture at that time, which stressed the interrelation between specific cultural phenomena and the demarcated geographical areas where these phenomena were often found.
