The present series contains a unique collection of 23 Phonogramme featuring various Romagnol dialects. They were recorded between July and August 1914 in Ravenna and Forli, Italy, by Friedrich Schurr, the Vienna-born Romance scholar. His pioneering research into Romagnol, cut short by the outbreak of World War I, was preceded by comparative diachronic investigations which he conducted during several stays in Italy from 1910 onwards. Primarily aiming at a comprehensive account of stressed vowels in Romagnol dialects, Schurr eventually decided to make use of the phonograph, which enabled the recorded text to be listened to and checked repeatedly. His subsequent application to the Phonogrammarchiv was granted, and an Archivphonograph put at his disposal. The recordings comprise not only Schurr's 57 so-called Normalsatze (standardised sentences created for his research purposes), but also the names of weekdays and months, individual phrases and proverbs as well as dialect poems or prose. Schurr's approach of using the phonograph in documenting the dialects of Romagna is the more important since it constitutes the first sound documentation ever made in the field of dialectology as regards Italy. The publication at hand is the result of the fruitful cooperation between the Phonogrammarchiv and the Centro per il Dialetto Romagnolo of the Fondazione Casa di Oriani. Thanks to the latter's successful efforts, the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Ravenna, with its library preserving the legacy of Friedrich Schurr, finally agreed to fund this project. The present multimedia publication consists of an audio CD, a data CD and a booklet (with a substantial contribution by dialectologist Sanzio Balducci). In addition to digital images of the original documentation accompanying the recordings, the data CD also provides scans of Schurr's publication of 1917 (resulting from his phonographic field research) and relevant correspondence as well as Italian translations of most of the booklet texts, making it a more or less bilingual edition.
