The following versions of Tale Type ATU 516+ are difficult for me to translate properly and sometimes to understand. Fairly often I have problems with diacritics and optical character recognition. Any researcher who could help me with this matter would be most welcome.
I do not wish for an entire translation, but details about :
* The meaning of the title
* The characters : their name, function (king, prince, son of a merchant or else, old woman, spirit, supernatural creature, ghost…)
* The principal episodes of the story (quest, fights, elopement, prediction, dangers, sentence, petrification, remedy, return).
You can also correct the description and abstract I have written, if they already exist on this research blog. All versions are listed on this page.
