The 2002 Census counted about 14,000 ethnic Shor living on the territory of Kemerovo Province and beyond its borders. The Shor language belongs to the Khakas subgroup within the Uighur-Oghuz branch of the Turkic language family. Shor folklore is represented by various genres that have survived to the present day. The scholarly series Monuments o f Folklore o f the Peop­ les o f Siberia and the Far Fast has published these folkloric riches in two volumes. The first contains the heroic epic, for which were chosen two unique oral texts: «Kan Pergen» and «Altyn Syryk». See Shor He­ roic Tales: Kan Pergen , Altyn Syryk — introductory article, preparation of the poetic text, translation, and commentary by A.I. Chudoyakov; mu- sicological article and preparation of accompanying musical notes by R.B. Nazarenko — in Monuments o f Folklore o f the Peoples o f Siberia and the Far Fast (Moscow; Novosibirsk: Nauka. — Vol. 17. — 463 p.). This first volume provides a detailed picture of the historiography of Shor folklore by illuminating the contributions of researcher and collectors as well as describing extant publications of Shor folkloric texts. The present volume contans 97 Shor oral-poetic texts giving an im­ pression of the diversity and contemporary condition of the ethnic group’s folkloric heritage. Of these, 91 are published here for the first time. The genre classification employed is primarily based on folk termi­ nology adapted to concepts current in modern scholarship. Because the series Monuments o f Folklore o f the Peoples o f Siberia and the Far Fast publishes genres represented by lengthy texts, the present volume contains one heroic tale (alyptyg nybak ) «Ак Кап», a collection of twelve nove- listic tales, tales of everyday life, and magic tales (nybak); twenty myths and legends (palymbai saryn ), four incantations (shachyg), and one text of a shamanic seance ( kamnanysh ). The largest and structurally most stable genre of Shor folklore is the alyptyg nybak, or kai nybak — the bogatyr (heroic) tale, which is per-
