Abstract: | The purpose of the present study is to identify more specifically relationships and parallels between Maltese and Arabic folklore falling under four main headings : (a) rhymes (b) folktales (c) proverbs and (d) customs and beliefs. The Maltese material is here presented together with similar or corresponding ideas and motifs occurring in texts and other ethnographic data found in publications relating mostly to the North African and other Mediterranean or Middle East countries belonging to the Arab world. The comparisons thus drawn, and the examples given, enable us to establish the main areas of Maltese folklore that still preserve distinct links with parallel material current among the Arabic-speaking peoples. |
