Munkácsi Bernát's

Vogul Népköltési Gyűjtemény

Munkácsi Bernát (1860-1937, Hungarian linguist), on his fieldwork from May 1888 to April 1889, collected one of the biggest collection of Mansi materials. With this journey he achieved an important result. He learned the Mansi language, became acquanited with Mansi culture which enabled him to understand the Mansi texts from Reguly's legacy.

His Vogul Népköltési Gyűjtemény (1892, 1892, 1893, 1896) was published in four volumes. (The accompanying volumes to two of them were published after Munkácsi's death by Béla Kálmán in 1952 and 1963.) In the Nyelvtudomány Közlemények he published sketches of six Mansi dialects (A vogul nyelvjárások szóragozásukban ismertetve), and compiled the concise dictionary of all Mansi dialects, the Wogulisches Wörterbuch.
