Nabaloi Law And Ritual (1920)

By Claude Russell Moss

Book Overview

Nabaloi Law and Ritual is a book written by Claude Russell Moss and published in 1920. The book is a comprehensive study of the legal system and religious beliefs of the Nabaloi people, an indigenous group in the Philippines. Moss spent many years living among the Nabaloi people and studying their customs, traditions, and beliefs. The book is divided into two sections, the first focusing on Nabaloi law and the second on Nabaloi ritual. In the first section, Moss examines the principles and practices of Nabaloi law, including their system of justice, property rights, and inheritance. In the second section, he explores the religious beliefs and practices of the Nabaloi people, including their worship of ancestral spirits and their use of divination to communicate with the spirit world. The book provides a detailed and insightful look into the culture and beliefs of the Nabaloi people, and is considered a seminal work in the field of anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
