Index of Spanish Folktales

Definition of material.

Spanish folktale material is much more abundant than has commonly been supposed. It was believed by some that such material did not exist until the publications of the earlier collectors began to appear. Among these was an Englishman, V. J. Thoms, who says in the introduction to his Lays and legends of Spain, 1834, "... one part of the task which we have proposed to ourselves ... is to gather together such legendary tales of Spanish origin as now lie scattered and far apart ... The popular tales in Spain have never yet been collected ... Our ignorance of the existence of legendary tales in Spain must not be considered a proof of their non-existence". More recently the existence of an abundance of folktales in Spain has been generally conceded; but the misconception that, aside from one or two collections, almost none of this material has been published is still current. As early as 1887 Hernández de Moreno[1] defended Spain against this misbelief. It is true that only a small proportion of the great stock of Spanish folktales has been published, and that many of these are not easily accessible, being hidden away in scattered journals, footnotes, etc. The purpose of this index is to render this material accessible and perhaps stimulate further interest in this fertile field.

On scanning the bibliography, one discerns three outstanding periods in the publication of Spanish folktales: about the middle of the nineteenth century, in the eighties, and during the past few years, in which time more folktales have been published than in both the preceding periods. Fernan Caballero was the chief figure in the first period; the second was a period of organization of folklore societies and journal publication. At present important works are constantly appearing by such eminent contemporary folklorists as Cabal, Espinosa, Llano Roza de Ampudia, etc. Furthermore, one notices many translations of Spanish folktales into English, German and French.

I found no definition of a folktale which served as a practical rule by which material could readily be accepted or rejected. The rule finally adopted was to accept all texts that manifest the existence in Spanish oral tradition of material like or bearing close analogy to the body of material included in Aarne's index. To reproduce a tale exactly as told by the folk would mean to reproduce every detail of syntax, form and vocabulary in a text written in phonetic symbols, and with all the vicissitudes of colloquial peasant speech in matters of repetition, omission, illogical and contradictory statements. Such a text would be of interest to the anthropologist, the psychologist, the linguist and the literary historian. Unfortunately, however, I have never seen such a text in print. I assume that such a text is what is referred to as a text "of scientific value". Being unable to find such texts, I was forced to lower my requirements. Even though a tale be written in literary Spanish, English, German or French, if its motives are preserved essentially as they are known to exist in oral tradition, I accept it. If, on the other hand, literary tradition and logic seem to have modified not only the language but also the motives themselves, I reject the tale. Or if the source of the tale is not indicated, and it seems to derive from literary or foreign tradition, I reject it. By saturating myfself in Aarne's index and the standard, wellknown Spanish collections, I was able to build up by experience a critical judgment which was very helpful in determining the value of doubtful works.

A few illustrations are perhaps to the point. Choosing a work with a promising title L. Dominguez, Los cuentos de Andalucia. Cuentos populares ... one finds that it contains jokes and anecdotes, scenes from contemporary daily life, but nothing that would fit into the body of material found in Aarne's index. Similarly, Baselga y Ramirez, Cuentos de la era, proves to be literary sketches. In Fernández de los Rios, Tesoro de cuentos, one finds traces that look suspiciously German, but since the author does not state that he has utilized German sources, and since the work does contain real folktale material, it seems best not to reject it. The words leyenda and tradicion are often employed in their proper meaning by Spanish folklorists. The following works, for example, really contain what their titles promise: A. Alcalde y Valladares, Tradiciones españolas; M. Cano y Cueto, Leyendas y tradiciones de Sevilla, 1875; L. Garcia del Real, Tradiciones y leyendas españolas, 1898—1899; S. G. C. Middlemore, Spanish legendary tales, 1885; G. M. Vergara y Martín, Tradiciones segovianas [1910]. However, these terms are sometimes applied to folktales. For example, the following works contain folktale material: Biblioteca de tradiciones populares españoles, 1884—6; R. H. Busk, Patrañas, or Spanish stories, legendary and traditional, 1870; C. Cabal, Los cuentos tradicionales asturianos [1924]; H. A. Reed, Spanish legends and traditions, 1914. The enchanted Moorish girl guarding a treasure in a cave, LRAF[2] p. 90, LRAL p. 184, MPP p. 345, and hidden treasures in general form a favorite theme in Spain. These stories belong to the field of legend and tradition. I have thought it wise to include the Don Juan legend, since its theme fits in very well with religious tales. In mythology some of the Nuberu stories given by Llano Roza de Ampudia include a rewarded hospitality theme which belongs typically to the folktale. It is sometimes rather difficult to distinguish between the riddle and the folktale. Usually whenever a story, a line of action or motivation occurs in a riddle, this story is a folktale. Louseskin (Mt 621) represents the typical riddle tale. This fusion with other types of the folktale, itself a type not well defined, illustrates, with the vague distinction between "literary" texts and texts of "scientific" value, the extreme difficulty of defining folktale material.

A definition of "Spanish" is necessary. The science of folklore is not yet far enough advanced to define what is folkloristically Spanish. Obviously, political boundaries are very little related to folkloristic boundaries. But a science which has fairly definite limits established and which is closely related to folklore is linguistics. This science has divided the Spanish peninsula into four generally accepted language groups: Portuguese-Galician, Spanish, Bask and Catalan-Valencian. I shall adopt the linguistic definition of Spanish. Hence Spanish folktales, in this index, are tales from the Spanish linguistic area, that is, from the regions of Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Extremadura, Leon, Mursia, New Castile and Old Castile.

Since this is the first attempt, to my knowledge, ever made to organize Spanish folktale material, errors and omissions will probably abound. In view of this fact I have sought to make the scope of the subject small enough that I might hope fairly well to cover the ground. In my search for Spanish folktales I encountered incidentally many works which may prove of value in the study of Galician, Bask and Catalan tales, and these are included in the bibliography. The Index includes all Spanish references given in BP, even the literary references; and to these I have added a few literary references. Folktale themes abound in Spanish literature and offer a great and fruitful field of study; and may, together with Spanish American tales, throw considerable light on the history and development of the Spanish folktale. A thesis[3] has been placed at my disposal which cites published texts of tales from Guatemala, Mexico, New Mexico and Porto Rico of fifty types. I include these references under type headings without checking or analyzing them. I wish to express my thanks to Miss Dean for permission to use this material. To these I add a few Spanish American references given by Thompson under Mt 2031 and Gillet[4] pertaining to Mt 1535. These are but a few scattered references from the Spanish American field which, in itself, offers abundant material for further study.

I am aware of no great manuscript collections of folktales in Spain. I am informed that there is none at the Centro de estudios historicos. Menéndez Pidal[5] refers to manuscript material on folklore at the Ateneo in Madrid; but in a letter dated October 25, 1927, Luis de Hoyos Sáinz informs me that this collection contains no folktales.

In a classification of exempla Miss Carter[6] worked out a more complete classification for animal stories than that given by Aarne. I have incorporated Miss Carter's new headings. In other parts of the Index I have added new headings.

The new sectional headings which I have introduced into the Index are inclosed in [ ], for example "[1585—1594 Legal decision]". Such insertions necessitated the reduction of scope of numbers under old sections; these changes of limiting numbers are inclosed in [], for example "1725—[1845] Parson". All newly inserted types and subtypes bear an *, as "*898" and "760 *C". All new additions to the detailed analyses of types bear an *, as "Mt 332 *V" or "Mt 425 I *f". New minor variations, which I do not consider important enough to insert with an *, follow their corresponding numbers in (), as "Mt 303 III d (Falls through trap door)."

The first item listed under a type number is any element marked with an *. Second follow other types to be compared for analogies, as "Cf Mt 313"; unless these comparisons apply only to specific references, then they are listed after such references, as "an 2. LRAC no 13. Cf Mt 348". Third come literary references. BP literary references are reproduced as follows: "Conquista de Ultramar 2 ch. 43 (ed. Gayangos 1858); see BP II 285". The great field of Spanish literature, alledged to be rich in popular elements, is yet to be explored for evidences of folktales. Fourth come the Spanish American references, which are grouped alphabetically by countries. A list of abbreviations used for regions follows.

an Andalusia
ar Aragon
as Asturias
ex Extremadura
le Leon
mu Mursia
nc New Castile
oc Old Castile
x Region not indicated
[] Region implied from secondary evidence in the text.

Every reference in every region under a type is arbitrarily assigned a number. The numbers begin anew for every region, so that additional variants of the type from any region may be added and numbered.

A: after a reference signifies that an analysis of the text cited follows, as "Mt 425 C as 1. CTA p. 66: I d II d (By declaring her love for him)"; or under Mt *860 one finds "as 2. LRAC no 48: Mt *860 + Mt 921 b", signifying that these two tales occur in combination in this sequence in the text of LRAC no 48.

The abbreviation used for "folktale type" is "Mt", which is based on the German "Märchentypus".

The letter and number in brackets following a new motive is the number that motive will bear in Stith Thompson's classification of motives, which has not yet been published.

I am greatly indebted to Stith Thompson for many valuable suggestions and for inserting in my manuscript the numbers pertaining to his forthcoming classification of motives. Above all, I wish to express my deep debt of gratitude to Archer Taylor, at whose suggestion this index of Spanish folktales was begun and with whose constant guidance and untiring help it has been carried to completion.

The following letter from Mr Calvert, dated at London, November 28, [1928], explains very accurately the character of these tales. They fit in closely enough with the truly popular tales so that I believe it is wise to include them. "In answer to your enquiries, the Spanish Tales were based on memories of legends, heard in Spain during residence in that country. As this residence, unfortunately, dates back many years, the stories are not exact reproductions of legends, as told by the people themselves. We have, to the best of our ability, adhered to the general spirit of the originals, to the extent of our recollections, but we have deviated from these whenever we thought that, by so doing, we could enhance the value of the narrative. With this end in view, we have used some license as to the settings we assigned to the various tales, ascribing them, somewhat arbitrarily, to this or that locality, without strict regard to their actual place of origin. In fact, the stories, generally speaking, represent a fusion of traditions ... We believe they are characteristic of the general Spanish type of popular legend ..."

On bridal night mother has daughter close all openings to bridal chamber except keyhole, and has her sprinkle husband with holy water or beat him with blest olive branch, saying this will insure his fidelity [D 1355.8], or that wife will be boss [D 1359.1.1]. He is really the Devil and flees through keyhole but mother catches him in flask as he comes out. For years peace reigns on earth while Devil is prisoner in flask. Finally a soldier releases him. They agree Devil will enter princess and make her sick; soldier will pose as doctor, Devil will leave and king will reward soldier for the "cure" [K 1955].
