Charles Leland Legends of Virgil 1900 occult witchcraft folklore Italian

Description: The Unpublished Legends of Virgil Author: Leland, Charles Title: The Unpublished Legends of Virgil Publication: New York: Macmillan, 1900 Edition: First American edition Description: 8vo, xx, 108 pp, bound in cream cloth titled in red. No dust jacket. First American edition of one of the central works by the eccentric folklorist and linguist, which first appeared the year prior in England. The work was published around the same time as his better known work on Italian folklore and occultism, Aradia, Or The Gospel of the Witches, which had an outsized influence on the development of neopaganism in the 20th century. The tales collected in this work may be a sort of companion to that book - as with Aradia, Leland notes in his foreword that "as these were nearly all taken down by a fortune-teller or witch among her kind... they very naturally contain much more that is occult, strange, and heathen..." Spine slightly cocked, with some darkening and minor soiling to cloth, the spine text with some loss; otherwise very good. With the neat early ownership signature of E. Whitney Martin of Stanford University to ffep.
