Romunske ljudske pravljice
Petre Ispirescu collected Romanian fairy tales from the oral tradition. His collection Legende sau basmele românilor brings together enchanted kingdoms, impossible tasks, heroes and heroines, and beings from the world of Romanian folklore.
Kako smo pripravili besedila
We have prepared 37 items from an OCR transcription of a historical reprint published in 1892, which reproduces the 1882 collection. We have manually checked the opening pages of each fairy tale, but owing to the old typeface, the OCR transcription still needs to be compared in full with the facsimile.
Vir, izdaja in pravice
The facsimile used is available on Wikimedia Commons, where it is marked as being in the public domain. Ispirescu died in 1887. The source citation distinguishes between the collection’s first publication in 1882 and the historical reprint from 1892 used here.
