medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: rochelle altman <[log in to unmask]>
> Folklore, hmmm. Perhaps spirits flitting around trying to take over another
body may be among the motifs in: Antti Amatus Aarne, 1867-1925. The Types of
the Folk-Tale: A Classification and Bibliography. Trans. Stith Thompson. New
York: Burt Franklin, 1928. At any rate, it's a place to start.
a better one might be to go to its multi-volume sucessor
Stith Thompson, Motif-index of folk literature: a classification of narrative
elements in folk tales, ballads, myths, fables, mediaeval romances, exempla,
fabliaux, jest-books, and local legends...
Bloominton, Ind. : Indiana University Press...
