This new edition of Adam Fischer's work, based on the 1921 original, is one of the most important studies on the funeral customs of the Polish people. The author avoids generalizations or analyses of cultural layers, focusing instead on a concise presentation of rituals and beliefs related to death. Fischer draws on a wide range of material—printed, handwritten, and comparative—including Slavic and neighboring customs when the context requires. The result is a substantive, rich compendium of knowledge on folk funeral rituals, invaluable for both researchers and readers interested in early culture.
