Johann Georg von Hahn - a nineteenth-century Austrian diplomat and
explorer - is generally considered to be the founder of Albanian
Studies as a scholarly discipline. It was he who first studied the
Balkan country and its people, and who brought them to the
attention of the academic world. Despite this acclaim, his work has
not been widely available in English until now. In this volume,
Robert Elsie has translated Hahn's most important works relating to
his travels and studies in Albania during the mid-nineteenth
century. Hahn's interests were broad, but he was especially
interested in the tribes of Albania and Kosovo and made several
ethnographic studies of the cultures and traditions of the tribes
he encountered on his travels - including the Kelmendi, Hoti and
Kastrati tribes. This volume will be invaluable readers for
scholars of Balkan history and anthropology.
