Anmerkungen zu den Kinder- U. Hausmärchen der Brüder Grimm.
Neu Bearbeitet von Johannes Bolte und Georg Polívka unter mitwirkung von Elizabeth Kutzer und Bernhard Heller, Vierter Band (Zur Geschichte Der Märchen, I-VIII), 1930, Leipzig. Pg 463-466. All 5 volumes of the "new" Bolte Annotations comprise over 2500 pages. Alas, only in German, but available on the web at: archive.org. See link above. Since this classification is
also over 100 years old, current thinking of the origins of the stories may be different. |
