Dolores Turchi's anthology of Sardinian popular legends and folk tales, Newton Compton, Rome, first edition 1999.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2, named honestly: Turchi is a recognised Sardinian folklore compiler and cultural educator, not a peer reviewed academic ethnographer, and her anthologies gather oral legend material rather than subjecting it to critical historiographic analysis. This atlas treats her as the standard modern source for what the janas legends actually say, not as an authority on their prehistoric origin. Citation
