Fine Fine German Original yellow cloth bdg. Dust wrapper. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 12 cm). In German. 415, [1] p. Edition of this book which was translated by Rosen, directly from Turkish text. Tutinama literal meaning "Tales of a Parrot", is a 14th-century series of 52 stories in Persian. The work remains well-known largely because of a number of lavishly illustrated manuscripts, especially a version containing 250 miniature paintings was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor, Akbar in the 1550s. The Persian text used was redacted in 14th century AD from an earlier anthology 'Seventy Tales of the Parrot' in Sanskrit compiled under the title Sukasaptati (a part of katha literature) dated to the 12th century AD. In India, parrots (in light of their purported conversational abilities) are popular as storytellers in works of fiction. Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Rosen, (1820-1891), was a German (Lippe / Prussian) orientalist and diplomat. He studied in Berlin and Leipzig. From 1844, he was a dragoman at the Prussian embassy in Constantinople. From 1853 he was the Prussian consul in Jerusalem. From 1867 he was Consul General of the North German Confederation (from 1871, the German Empire) in Belgrade. In 1875, Rosen returned to Detmold, where, in May 1907, the Rosenstraße was named in his honor.

Very Good Very Good English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [Lvii], 236 p. Two Tamil folktales: The story of King Matanakâma - The story of peacock Râvana. Translated from the Tamil by Kamil V. Zvelebil. "Taamil literary folklore has so far received little attention, in spite of a few early publications which appeared mostly in the 19th century. Mosst of Tamil literary texts translated into Western languages, or analyzed in Indological literature, belonged too the Tamil 'Great Tradition' of high literary culture. And yet, there exists an enormous wealth of oral and semi-oral traditions of verbal art in Tamil, as in any other Indian language; some of these pieces of literary folklore have appeared in print as chapbooks and are very popular with Tamil readers, but ignored by 'respactable' literary scholarship. The two folk-narratives translated in this book belong to the favourite pieces of Tamil folklore. Apart from being expressions of sheer narrative joy and creative fantasy of the Tamil people,they are a rich source of comparative data on various motifs, customs, stylistic devices etc., and therefore they will not only amuse and delight the general reader, but be of great use to all students of Indian literatures, and of comparative folklore.".
