Europaeus is a collection of letters and travel writings that likely dates from the mid-19th century. This work chronicles Europaeus's extensive travels while collecting Finnish folklore and songs, especially focusing on the study of the Kalevala epic and Finnish oral tradition. The book is significant for its insights into the cultural and linguistic realities of Finland during that time. The opening of the text introduces Europaeus's motivations and experiences while on his journeys in the years 1845-1846. It details his travels across various regions, including Karelia and neighboring areas, as he seeks out traditional singers and gathers songs and stories. He faces challenges, such as financial constraints and the difficulty of reaching and engaging with local folk singers, but ultimately his determination leads to fruitful encounters, resulting in valuable collections of Finnish folklore. The letters exchanged with influential figures like Elias Lönnrot provide additional context to his scholarly endeavors and the collaborative spirit of folk collection during that era.
