Abstract:

This comparative anthology showcases the rich and mutually intertwined
folklore of three ethno-religious communities from northern Iraq:
Aramaic-speaking (‘Syriac’) Christians, Kurdish Muslims and—to a lesser
extent—Aramaic-speaking Jews. The first volume contains several introductory
chapters on language, folkore motifs and narrative style, followed by samples
of glossed texts in each language variety. The second volume is the anthology
proper, presenting folklore narratives in several distinct varieties of
North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic and Northern and Central Kurdish. The stories are
accompanied by English translations. The material includes different genres
such as folktales, legends, fables and anecdotes, and is organised into seven
thematic units. The folkloristic material of these three communities is shared
to a large extent. The anthology is, therefore, a testament to the intimate
and long-standing relations between these three ethno-religious
communities—relations that existed in a multilingual environment centuries
before the modern era of nationalism.
