The Grateful Dead: The History of a Folk Story
Gerould, Gordon Hall
Dead -- Folklore; Folk literature -- Themes, motives; Grateful dead (Tale)
[120] See Hippe, p. 150.
[121] See Hippe, p. 158.
[122] Hippe's brief analysis, p. 159, fails to give a satisfactory
outline.
[123] Hippe's analysis, p. 159, is not quite adequate.
[124] Russian I. is the only other variant that I know which makes
the dead man uneasy in his grave.
[125] So also in Servian I. and Icelandic II., cited above, as well
as Bohemian and Simrock VII., for which see below.
[126] See pp. 79 f.
[127] See pp. 85-87.
[128] See Amis et Amiles und Jourdains de Blaivies, ed. K. Hofmann, 2nd
ed. 1882; Amis und Amiloun zugleich mit der altfranzoesischen Quelle,
ed. E. Koelbing, 1884, with the comprehensive discussion of versions
in the introduction; also Koelbing, "Zur Ueberlieferung der Sage von
Amicus und Amelius," in Paul und Braune's Beitraege iv. 271-314; etc.
[129] Hippe's analysis, p. 156, is different from mine, and is taken
from a less trustworthy source. I use the summary of the Ghent text.
[130] See p. 49 for other tales in which the dead man is a friend of
the hero's.
[131] Geschichte des spanischen Nationaldramas, i. 141.
[132] Sir Amadas, for which see p. 37.
[133] Irish I., for which see pp. 62 and 64, Breton I., p. 65, and
Sir Amadas.
[134] vii.
[135] Hippe's Lithauische III.
[136] See Hippe, pp. 156 f.
[137] Thus III. makes the princess a daughter of the King of Portugal,
as in I.; IV. gives no names whatever; and V. makes the heroine's
father King of England.
[138] From Gascony, like III., IV., and V.
[139] The portraits are not displayed on the ship, but on Jean's
carriage,--a curious deviation.
[140] See pp. 27 and 57.
[141] See chapter vii.
[142] See pp. 104 f.
[143] II. is the only version which has Jean make his first two voyages
on land, a trait which contradicts the general testimony of the tales
throughout the chapter.
[144] See pp. 85 f.
[145] P. 146.
[146] See The Legend of Perseus, E. S. Hartland, 1896, volume iii.
[147] See p. 103 above.
[148] In Jean de Calais IX. they set out together, but to the hero's
home.
[149] So also in Transylvanian. Similarly the hero offers to give
all of his wife, instead of dividing her, in Dianese, Old Swedish,
and Old Wives' Tale.
[150] See pp. 100-102.
[151] See pp. 85 f.
[152] See pp. 105 f.
[153] See the paper by Kittredge, Journal of American Folk-Lore,
xviii. 1-14, 1905.
[154] See pp. 107 f.
[155] In this connection it is cited by Kittredge in the study above
mentioned, pp. 9 f.
[156] See p. 108.
[157] See p. 101.
[158] See pp. 31 f.
[159] The same loss is evident in Catalan, Spanish, Simrock I.,
and Simrock VII.
[160] See p. 27 for Jewish.
[161] That is, the rescue of the bridegroom from the creatures which
possess the bride.
[162] See p. 4 above.
[163] Of course this excludes the group connected with Oliver, which
has no proper connection with the compound type.
