Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Kato Texts is a book compiled by Pliny Earle Goddard, an American anthropologist and linguist. The book consists of a collection of traditional stories, myths, and legends of the Kato people, a Native American tribe from California.The Kato Texts were collected by Goddard during his fieldwork among the Kato people in the early 20th century. The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains 40 stories, including creation myths, animal fables, and tales of heroes and tricksters. The second part includes a detailed analysis of the Kato language, including its grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.The Kato Texts provide a fascinating insight into the culture and beliefs of the Kato people. The stories reflect the Kato's deep connection to the natural world and their belief in the power of spirits and magic. The linguistic analysis in the second part of the book is also of great value to scholars of Native American languages.Overall, Kato Texts is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American culture, mythology, and linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
