the life of Saint Eustace: He is separated from his young sons (R13.1.2.
Lion carries off child. Qifar p. 26. B535.0.15. Lion as nurse for child. Child

warning (Z 12 1.2.1. Truth, Wind and Water debate. Wind and water easily
found; truth must be guarded and never lost. Once lost never regained.
Qifar p. 136). He must understand that once he departs, he will not be
able to return. While the empress had used a tale to deliver a specific message, sometimes tales are part of an extended conversation, as in the father
and son colloquy between Cifar, now king of Menton, and his sons. The
wise king relates a series of folktales to teach them their princely responsibilities (pp. 75-108).

frame story that is in itself a folktale (K2131.2. Envious jackal makes lion
suspicious of his friend, the bull. Lion kills bull. Calila p. 124; Exemplario
llr). In Sendebar (71 entries) and Disciplina Clericalis (73 entries) we find
prevalent high-frequency folktales also set in a frame story.
For epic narratives, I rely on the Primera cronica general (34 entries) and
the Cronica abreviada (39 entries), as well as the Cantar de Mio Cid (18
entries). For miracle tales, my principal Marian sources are Berceo's
Milagras (41 entries) and Alfonso X's Cantigas (345 entries), along with
vida de San Aleja (30 entries) and Los miraglos de Santiago (40 entries).

course, some texts have yielded only a few tales, and others abound in
them. For a list of all the source texts and an indication of frequency, see
"Source Texts, Abbreviations, and the Number of Entries."
METHODOLOGY
Maria Jesus Lacarra describes five kinds of brief narrative, and these
groupings constitute a guide for the identification and inclusion of tales in
this index. ^ (1) EXEMPLUM, a short account of events imique in time and
place (anecdote); (2) fabula, a tale that relates events in which the personages are animals (occasionally in contact with humans); (3) ALLEGORIA,
a narrative susceptible of an allegorical interpretation; (4) DESCRIPTIO,
an
account of the custom, appearance, and characteristics of animals (from
bestiaries) or plants; and (5) SIMILITUDO, a comparison of two activities

does not analyze the story to find the elements that combine to make this
"a full-fledged narrative" that deals with the topic of judging the behavior
of others. Briefly, the story tells of a man who had taken two captive

with her"). I have assigned this to two narrative areas: (1) to the section
dealing with sexual relationships, T472.1. Women of vanquished city given

Boggs compiled the Index of Spanish Folktales that added subAame and also included an invaluable alphabetical
index. Stanley Robe extended Aarne's work with an index of tale types
from Mexico, Central America, and the Hispanic United States. Various
folklorists provided specialized motif-indexes to augment Thompson's
monumental work. Rotunda collected the motifs peculiar to the Italian
novella following Thompson's scheme. See Azzolina's bibliography which
serves as a useful guide despite the flaws noted by Hans Jorg Uther in his
review of Azzolina's work. Edward Neugaard has prepared an index of
medieval Catalan folktales with an informative preface and a bibliography
worth consulting. Reginetta Haboucha has amassed a huge volume of tale
types and motifs of Sephardic folktales.
