Abstract: Friedrich S. Krauss (1859-1938) was an Austrian ethnographer and folklorist. He specialized in Slavic ethnography and folklore. During the course of his fieldwork, he amassed one of the largest collections of Guslar epic songs. He later turned his attention to erotic folklore, which helped lay the groundwork for the emerging Viennese psychoanalytic school. The collection consists of research materials, manuscripts, illustrations, and published materials on south Slavic folklore compiled by Krauss. The collection also includes hundreds of drawings by Max Lehmann.

Biography

Krauss was born in 1859 in Pozega, Slavonia; awarded degree in classical philology from the University of Vienna in 1882; later turned his attention to south Slavic ethnography and folklore; took field trip from 1884-85 to Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Dalmatia, and amassed one of the largest collections of Guslar epic songs; he later turned his attention to erotic folklore, which helped lay the groundwork for the emerging Viennese psychoanalytic school; books include: Sitte und Brauch der Südslaven (1885), Volkesglaube und religiöser Brauch der Südslaven (1890), Streifzüge im Reiche der Frauenschönheit (1903), and Die Anmut des Frauenleibes (1904); he died on May 30, 1938 in Vienna.

[NOTE]

Dr. Donald Ward and I are currently editing the papers of Friedrich Krauss for publication. The manuscripts on Slavenart (Box 1) and Das Mieder (Box 3) are listed in none of the standard reference bibliographies with the exception of Dagener's 1928 Wer Ist's, which drew its information in all probability from an update by Krauss. The first selection of these papers targeted for publication will be the reconstruction of the second volume of Tausend Sagen und Marchen der Sudslaven (Box 5). Although Krauss announced eight volumes in the series, only the first appeared in print in 1914. Originally the first two volumes were to contain unpublished fairy tales and legends from Krauss's own collection.

Note

... will ich die ersten zwei Pände nur mit Geschichten aus meinem eigenen Speicher aüsfullen... XVI. Tausend Sagen und Marchen der Sudslaven. vol.1.

Strong evidence indicates that Krauss intended to reprint volume one, replacing the illustrations with new ones by Max Lehmann (Box 5 folder 2). Thus, in an attempt to maintain the integrity of Krauss's project, we shall publish both volume one and the reconstructed second volume in German following, whenever possible, the format indicated by Krauss and Lehmann.

These papers together with the University Research Library's extensive holdings of Krauss's published work (donated to the library by Wilhelm Krauss) comprise one of the largest collections on Friedrich S. Krauss in existence and offers a wealth of material on a scholar who played a unique role in the cultural history of Vienna.
