ABSTRACT
NUMEROUS variants of and parallels to the above folktales and legends collected from Hebrew and Yiddish sources are found in the folklore of other nations. Space will not permit me to give all those that I have been able to find in Basque, Breton, Irish, Norwegian, Italian, Sicilian, and Russian folktales and legends, not to speak of Indian and Persian collections. I have indicated the respective literatures in the footnotes, and the variants and parallels of a few of the folktales related above will suffice.
