Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First American Edition. A Roman Catholic priest and scholarly philologist, Father Schmidt trained Catholic missionaries to gather linguistic & cultural data from the peoples in whose culture they were embedded, founding the journal and institute Anthropos to publish & research their findings & his theories. He wrote extensively on linguistics, and turned later in his career to ethnology, partly to promote his idea that all peoples are essentially monotheistic, in accord with Biblical revelation. Deeply influenced by Frobenius and Graebner, he here presents the history & technique of German & Austrian ethnology, contrasting it with the practice of the discipline in North America and the rest of Europe; he goes on to discuss the meaning & interpretation of sources, cultural relations, culture circles & strata, development & causality, and related ideas. Though little or poorly-remembered today, partly due to modern concerns about his biases, Schmidt was arguably the foremost Catholic ethnographer of the first half of the twentieth century.
