Please follow my description details. Hard-to-find complete three volume hardcovers (cloth with silver lettering) of "Studies and Texts in Folklore, Magic, Mediaeval Romance, Hebrew Apocrypha and Samaritan Archaeology with 14 Plates and 5 Illustrations" collected and reprinted by Moses Gaster PhD. The second volume includes "Prolegomenon" by Theodor Gaster (Moses's son). From a review: "Moses Gaster (1856-1939) was a Romanian, later British scholar, the Hakham of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish congregation, London, and a Hebrew and Romanian linguist and folklorist. The present volumes of his collected essays cover a period of over 50 years. These were originally published in this form in 1925-28; the remaining stock of books was destroyed in the air raids over London during World War II. Since both the original edition and the journals in which these essays were first published are no longer available, the present reprint edition fills a need in folklore studies in general and Jewish folklore in particular." "The first two volumes include articles and texts mainly in English, but also in German, Romanian, Italian and Hebrew. The third volume is devoted primarily to Hebrew texts and essays. The subjects of these essays reflect the wide scope of Moses Gaster's scholarship and range from Romanian folklore to Samaritan legends to Jewish Haggadah apocrypha and mysticism. Many articles have lasting value as they include texts which are otherwise unavailable; other essays have historical significance, reflecting the state of folklore scholarship and theories during the lifetime of Gaster."
