Krauss] + vpp. plates. Illust. from drawings and black and white photos. Text in German. Yearbook of folklore, sociology, and sexual customs from around the world edited and privately published by Krauss who was a specialist in the ethnology of the South Slavic peoples. This is the final volume of a ten-volume annual. "Collectanea is laregly forsaken in this last volume of the yearbook series in favor of a greater number of articles, including interesting contributions on hand and finger symbolism, facetiae and the clergy... and eroticism and scatology in Yugoslavian cooking. A special, lengthy appendix is devoted to what Krauss refers to as the erotic 'witch hunt' trials, in 1913, in Berlin. The report breaks off before the trial was concluded, and one wonders whether the series was terminated because of them or because of the outbreak of the war the following spring." - from Hoffman, Selected Bibliography, page 110.
