The technique advocated develops the idea of Bayesian Narratives deriving evidence for singular causal connections from ethnographically elicited, indicative, counter factual and counter potential statements. Bayesian Narratives assemble multiple causal inferences into a directed a-cyclic di-graph. Comparative Narratives allow that similar digraphs may be compared. 606 $aCausation 606 $aEthnohistory 615 0$aCausation. 615 0$aEthnohistory. 676 $a122 700 $aAbell$b Peter$0106711 702 $aEngel$b Ofer 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910682542003321 996 $aEthnographic Causality$93276486 997 $aUNINA
