Heinrich Adalbert von Wlislocki (1856-1907) was a Transylvanian folklorist, linguist and cultural anthropologist. He specialized in "Tsiganology", and conducted intensive literary collections as well as field-studies among Transylvanian Gypsies/Roma. He became member of a Roma-Clan and got married to a Romani woman. Volume I (1889) of the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society wrote about him as „the scholar probably having the best insight into the life and language of the Gypsies" (Charles Godfrey Leland). In this book, published originally in 1892, the author describes various key aspects of Romology such as healthcare traditions, religious narratives, mythological traditions and tales, utilities for peregrinating groups etc. The book is completed by the highly exceptional biography of a Romani woman originally from South Serbia who spent time in Greece, Albania, Italy, and finally lived in Paris among avant-garde artists.
