(Heinrich Moritz Gottlieb) Raper, Matthew 1778 13002246 Dissertation on the Gipseys Representing their manner of life, family economy, occupations & trades, marriages & education, sickness, death, & burial, religion, language, sciences & arts, &c. &c. &c.; with an historical enquiry concerning their origin & first appearance in Europe Transcribed from the William Ballintine 1807 edition by David Price, using scans from the British Library "Disssertation on the Gipseys" by Heinrich Moritz Gottlieb Grellmann is a scholarly examination written in the early 19th century. This work provides an extensive analysis of the lifestyle, customs, and historical background of the Romani people, often referred to as Gipseys, focusing on various aspects such as their manner of life, marriages, occupations, and origin in Europe. At the start of the dissertation, Grellmann introduces the Gipseys as a unique phenomenon in Europe, emphasizing their unchanged nature over centuries despite living among settled populations. He discusses their distinct cultural traits, including their persistent nomadic lifestyle and the public perception of them as thieves and wanderers. The opening also touches upon historical inquiries into their origins and the various appellations used to describe them across different European countries. Grellmann sets the stage for a detailed exploration of their societal structure and economic practices, highlighting the challenges they face in gaining acceptance and the lack of attempts at significant reform by surrounding societies.
