The article traces a historical overview of folklore studies in Morocco within the framework of cultural relations between both shores of the western Mediterranean. It begins with a review of the early interest in popular tradition, focused on the collection of proverbs in Andalusi and Maghrebi contexts, and continues with an analysis of the first modern compilations produced by European authors based in Morocco. It also examines the role of specialized journals, institutions devoted to intangible heritage, and recent university programs, highlighting the progressive consolidation of this field in the country.
