INTERNATIONAL PROVERB SCHOLARSHIP: AN UPDATED
BIBLIOGRAPHY, 1994*
The first ten volumes of Proverbium (1984-1993) registered
the impressive number of 2,537 scholarly proverb
publications in the form of books, dissertations, and
articles. This clearly indicates an amazing level of
paremiological activity throughout the world. The present
bibliography adds another 230 items to this wealth of
scholarship by researchers from very different fields. Most
publications are journal articles, but there are also a
number of major books, dissertations, and essay volumes.
Publications in the field of phraseology are especially
numerous due to various essay volumes edited by Jarmo
Korhonen, Csaba Földes, and others. Of special
importance is also the appearance of the first volume of >Paremia: Boletin de Investigaciones
Paremiológicas (1993, 145 pp., all
articles in Spanish), a major annual proverb publication
edited by Julia Sevilla Muñoz. Every paremiologist
should subscribe to this new yearbook, and it can be ordered
and purchased by writing to Prof. Julia Sevilla
Muñoz, Paremia, Vandergotten
8-20 f., 28014 Madrid, Spain.
Once again I would like to thank a number of
colleagues and friends for their help in sending me copies
of or information concerning new paremiological
publications. My sincere thanks are due particularly to
Bendt Alster (Helsingør), Malcolm Jones (Derbyshire),
Jarmo Korhonen (Helsinki), Gyula Paczolay (Veszprém),
Theodore Papadopoullos (Athens), Julia Sevilla Muñoz
(Madrid), and Helmut Walther (Wiesbaden). Please continue to
supply me with bibliographical information and, if at all
possible, please send the actual publications. It is of
great importance to international paremiologists that these
annual bibliographies in Proverbium continue to be as up-to-date and complete as possible. Also
please encourage colleagues and friends to subscribe to Proverbium. There are still many
individuals and far too many university libraries which do
not receive Proverbium. While
volumes 2 (1985) and 4 (1987) are unfortunately out of
print, all others can still be obtained. We definitely need
more subscriptions, and we ask you to be of help in finding
new subscribers so that Proverbium can continue to appear on an annual basis.
