The book presents unique literature in a minority ethnolect - the
Germanic dialect of Wilamowice in Southern Poland. The manuscripts,
written in the ethnolect at the beginning of the 20th century, were
discovered in 1989. The book contains full versions of several
texts of various length written by Florian Biesik, who decided to
create a literary standard for Wilamowicean in order to prove its
non-German, but possibly Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, Flemish or Frisian
origin. Thus it presents both the dialectal literature and the most
important elements of the local culture during the final stages of
its extinction.
