Karl Felix Wolff's literary collection of Ladin and South Tyrolean Dolomite folk legend, first published 1913, standard modern edition from Athesia, Bozen.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Reliability tier 2, named honestly: Wolff was a South Tyrolean folklorist and popular writer, not a peer reviewed ethnographer, who gathered and often reshaped oral Ladin and Dolomite legend material into a literary collection first published in 1913 and reprinted in many editions since. This atlas treats him as the standard modern source for what the Salvans legend cycle says, not as an authority on its prehistoric origin, the same standing this atlas already gives Turchi for Sardinian folklore.
