Hi list,
just in passing, here are three titles of three books, (unfortunately) in
German, on the legends concerning the gnomes etc in late midieval German
mining history:
Blechschmidt, Manfred (Ed.) Die Silberne Rose. Europaeische Bergmannssagen
(European mining legends) (Rudolfstadt: Greifenverlag, 1976);
Schramm, R. (Ed.) "Venetianersagen von Geheimnisvollen Schatzsuchern"
(Venetian Legends about mysterious treasure seekers);
Trommer, Dr. Harry "Wo das Erz in Fuelle blinkt." Bergmannssagen (Mining
legends) (Leizpzig: Friedrich Hofmeister, 1956).
I remember reading several others but kept referecnes to the above three as
the most impressive and entertaining.
