Where I can I prefer dead tree editions. This one is the "Handwörterbuch des Deutschen Aberglaubens" (1927-1942). There are a lot of low-priced reprints in paperback but I managed to get the hardcover 1st edition in a nearly pristine condition. It was published by Walter de Gruyter in Berlin, and the time of publishing may raise serious reluctance, but the editors and the editorial staff have been Swiss academics. Wonderful articles, with an overwhelming width of sources. Obviously outdated today, but modern dictionaries on that topic, although with different editorial guidelines, are not better, often don't even match it. Just another confirmation for my predilection for outdated and neglected dictionaires and encyclop(a)edias. :-) https://gnusocial.net/attachment/1338d465f5a01df0ebf8fb21b745c769851cdcb47272d384ccb655a1933cd076/view
