folklore: oral accounts of the people
Description
"the Folklore compound goes up at the year 1846 in the English publications. It was spread in France, mainly by the Celtic Review (founded in 1870) and by the Review of the Popular Traditions (founded in 1886). [... ]. In a usual way, I take the word folklore to indicate the oral accounts of the people and the word tradition to indicate the written accounts of the clerks. But the folklore derives sometimes from the tradition, and the tradition was not often, at the origin, that folklore " This remark of François DUINE in his "liturgical Inventory of Hagiographie Bretonne" puts to us in relation to a kind of "collector per hagiographic passion"
