The Tale of ‘Three Golden Children’ (ATU 707) in 1937 Donegal

On 25 August 1937, a strange-looking man appeared in the fishing hamlet of Teelin in Donegal, lreland. He spoke lrish, albeit with a foreign, Kerry accent. After a month there, the visitor, Ludwig Mühlhausen asked a local storyteller, Séamus Ó Caiside, if he could relate a few stories for him. These two men recorded 12 tales and two songs. ‘Scéal Rí na Gréige’ presents a version of the well-known international folktale type ATU 707:’Three Golden Children’.

What does Elias Lönnrot have in common with Vladimir Dahl, Antoni Maria Alcover and the Brothers Grimm? The answer is that all of these folklorists were also lexicographers. And there is much folklore data buried in dictionaries, whether compiled by those who were folklorists or by those who were not. This book attempts to take the measure of such data with a set of studies ranging from Greece to England, and from Newfoundland to Trinidad and Tobago.

Proceedings of the Ninth International Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics (ICAGL9) 30 August – 1 September 2018, Helsinki

This volume is a collection of twenty-nine papers that had their presentation at the 9th International Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics (ICAGL9). Thus they show exciting new lines of research in the field of Ancient Greek linguistics, where many approaches take advantage of current linguistic methods and theories. The Helsinki colloquium had two themes: Language contact between Greek and other languages and Linguistic research on original documents and manuscripts.

Tradizione e innovazione. Atti del XII Congresso degli Italianisti della Scandinavia Helsinki-Tallinn, 13–14 giugno 2019

Tra le certezze di una solida tradizione scientifica e le incertezze delle sfide poste in primis dale nuove tecnologie, ma anche, e non marginalmente, dai nuovi assetti istituzionali e dai curricula vigenti nelle università del Nordeuropa, i saggi qui proposti documentano la determinazione degli addetti ai lavori di affrontare criticamente e creativamente le problematiche dell’innovazione all’insegna di una interdisciplinarità che non dimentica il ricco potenziale delle singole tradizioni disciplinari.

Social Commentary from Singer-Songwriters to Rap

Popular songs are increasingly recognized as cultural artefacts and as indicators for societal developments, as can be seen by the fact that Bob Dylan received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. Song lyrics are especially interesting, since they depend on the intention of the authors/ performers as well as on the acceptance of the audience. The social import of popular music, such as rock and rap, is rather seldom analyzed in detail.

Studies on Theory and Practice in Luther and Lutheran-Orthodox Ecumenical Theology

The relation between faith and love in Martin Luther’s theology is a classical theme in Luther scholarship. This collection of essays addresses Luther’s understanding of faith and love by examining his idea of faith as both darkness and light. By focusing on these two aspects of faith we are able to detect Luther’s deep connection with mystical theological traditions and foster the knowledge of his theology of spiritual life.

The first period of independence (1918–1940) was one of enormous socioeconomic and cultural development in Latvia. The establishment of a national university in 1919 was a decisive step in the academic work and educational life of the newly independent Latvia. In 1920 the Faculty of Theology was established at the University of Latvia. Despite its success in creating a national Latvian theology, the faculty was unable to unite all the theologians of Latvia.
