1896. These stories were collected from the mouths of the Turkish
peasantry by the Hungarian savant, Dr. Ignatius Kunos, during his
travels through Anatolia. He compares the treasure of Turkish
folklore to precious stones lying neglected in the byways of
philology for want of gleaners to gather them in, and warns the
student of ethnology that when the railroad actually invades the
classic land of Anatolia, these poetical myths and legends will be
the first victims of Western civilization.
