Excerpt from Legends of Florence

Etruscan-roman Remains in Popular Tradition con sists, and of which I have enough additional material to make a large volume. But having resolved to add to it local legends, and give them the preference, I found that the latter so abounded, and were so easily collected by an expert, that I was obliged to cast out my occult folk-lore, piece by piece, if I ever hoped to get into the port of publication, according to terms with the underwriters, following the principle laid down by the illustrious Poggio.

Excerpt from Legends of Florence: From the People and Re-Told

This book consists almost entirely of legends or traditions of a varied character, referring to places and buildings in Florence, such as the Cathedral and Campanile, the Signoria, the Bargello, the different city gates, ancient towers and bridges, palaces, crosses, and fountains, noted corners, odd by-ways, and many churches. To all of these there are tales, or at least anecdotes attached, which will be found as entertaining to the general reader as they will be interesting, not to say valuable, to the folklorist and the student of social history; but here I must leave the work to speak for itself.

I originally intended that this should be entirely a collection of relics of ancient mythology, with superstitions and sorceries, witchcraft and incantations, or what may be called occult folk-lore, of which my work on "Etruscan-Roman Remains in Popular Tradition" consists, and of which I have enough additional material to make a large volume.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of Italian folktales from Florence, Italy, collected by Charles Godfrey Leland in the 19th century. The tales are varied and entertaining, ranging from stories of supernatural encounters with goblins, witches, and ghosts to humorous anecdotes and jests. Through these tales, the author offers a glimpse into the rich folklore and cultural traditions of Florence and its people, providing insights into the beliefs, values, and everyday life of the city�s inhabitants from centuries past. Some of the tales are rooted in local history and legends, such as the story of the "Three Horns of Messer Guicciardini", which is said to have inspired the Guicciardini family crest. Others, like the tale of "Furicchia, or the Egg-Woman of the Mercato Vecchio", offer a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Florentines and the challenges they faced. Overall, this book is a valuable addition to the body of literature on Italian folklore and a captivating read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Florence.
