Description
Taking as a starting-point the study of a chapter from the "Tractat de les penes particulars d'infern" by Joan Pasqual (c. 1436), traces the dissemination (and the "stemma narrationum") of two narrative motifs: the fake alchemist and the king (Thompson, K.111.4), and the account-book of mistakes or fools (Thompson, J.1371), and places CYT within this tradition.
