The history of Jews in the Caucasus dates back to ancient times and is lost in the fog of literary and oral legends. Modern Jews of the Caucasus have kept very vague memories of their origin. But, as the travelers of the 18th and first half of the 19th century testify, among the Jews of the Caucasus there was still a legend that they were descendants of the ten tribes of Israel, settled in the Midia by Assyrian kings. Russian ethnographers, whose essays are included in this collection, collected interesting historical, ethnographic and statistical information, interesting to the inquisitive reader today.
