 Description

The corpus includes Latvian legends published in volumes 13, 14, and 15 of "Latvian Folk Tales and Legends" (1925–1937), compiled by Pēteris Šmits. The volumes were digitised in the late 1990s; a revised version and the preparation of the German-language texts were carried out in 2012. Metadata refinement and the development of a new corpus version were undertaken in 2024 and 2025. Latvian legend translations into German and a parallel corpus of Latvian legends with their German translations are published as separate records.
