+# Aarne 1910 Tale-Type Index (Verzeichnis der Märchentypen)
+
+A complete structured digitization of Antti Aarne's *Verzeichnis der Märchentypen* (Folklore Fellows' Communications 3, Helsinki 1910) — the founding catalogue of the Aarne–Thompson–Uther tale-type system. Every type with its German title and description, part/division/subsection structure, group captions, Grundtvig and Grimm cross-references, page numbers, and English title glosses. Parsed from the proofread German Wikisource transcription; the 1910 source text is public domain worldwide (Aarne d. 1925), and this dataset is released CC0.
