PREFACE
The present work is designed as a supplement to Professor
Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (6 vols.),
Bloomington and Helsinki, 1932ff. It follows Professor Thomp-
son's method of classification and enumeration, numbers not
occurring in Professor Thompson's work being marked with an
asterisk. In attempting to fit the motifs of early Irish tradition
into Professor Thompson's classification, the compiler, contrary
to the preference of some Celticists, has generally identified the
aes sldhe and the Tuatha Di Danann as "fairies," and their dwell-
ings as "fairyland." He has also sought, with questionable suc-
cess, to differentiate between "gods" and "fairies." Users of
this book are warned against accepting indiscriminately as
ancient Celtic divinities all of the personages identified as such
by modern scholars.
This index is intended primarily for the use of students of
folklore and custom and of comparative literature. To this end,
the references to early Irish or Hiberno-Latin sources are fre-
quently supplemented by references to modern scholarly works
in which motifs found in Celtic are cited for purposes of com-
parative study in various fields of literary or cultural history,
such as mediaeval romance. A few references to early Welsh
documents have also been added, and, though no effort has been
made to cover modern Irish folklore, scattered references to that
field have also been inserted. To insure as wide usefulness as
possible, preference is given to translations contained in books
of relatively easy accessibility, and more than one reference is
frequently given to different translations of a single motif.
For assistance in connection with the present work, thanks
are due to many friends whose names, for lack of space, are not
recorded here. Especial gratitude is due to Professor F. N.
Robinson, under whose inspiration this index was begun as a
class exercise nearly half-a-century ago; to Dr. R. I. Best, whose
card-index in the National Library of Ireland was placed at the
compiler's disposal; to Mrs. Lucile Grigorieff, Miss Mary
Margaret Toole, and Mr. Kenneth Gantz, who collected or checked
many of the references; and to Professor Stith Thompson and
Professor Archer Taylor, whose constant encouragement is large-
ly responsible for the publication of this volume.

ALPHABETICAL INDEX
To save unnecessary expense in printing and to avoid dupli-
cation of entries contained in the "Alphabetical Index" given in
Volume VI of Professor Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-
Literature (1936), and in the new edition now in preparation,
no complete alphabetical index is appended to the present volume.
Users may consult Professor Thompson's "Alphabetical Index"
in connection with the "General Synopsis" given at the begin-
ning of this volume and the cross-references given throughout
the text. They are also prayed to read attentively Professor
Thompson's Introduction to Volume I of his Motif-Index of Folk-
Literature, especially his observations on "Cross-references"
(p. 15). The direct cross-references to Professor Thompson's
Motif-Index given in this volume were introduced by Professor
Thompson in his capacity as Chairman of the Publication Com-
mittee of the Folklore Series of Indiana University.

Indiana University, Bloomington

Stith Thompson. Chairman

The Indiana University Publications, Folklore Series, was founded in

Early Irish Literature

The University of Chicago, to the Irish Fellowship

of Chicago, and to the American Irish

The present work is designed as a supplement to Professor

Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (6 vols.),

Bloomington and Helsinki, 1932ff. It follows Professor Thomp-

son's method of classification and enumeration, numbers not

occurring in Professor Thompson's work being marked with an

asterisk. In attempting to fit the motifs of early Irish tradition

into Professor Thompson's classification, the compiler, contrary

to the preference of some Celticists, has generally identified the

ings as "fairyland." He has also sought, with questionable suc-

cess, to differentiate between "gods" and "fairies." Users of

this book are warned against accepting indiscriminately as

ancient Celtic divinities all of the personages identified as such

This index is intended primarily for the use of students of

folklore and custom and of comparative literature. To this end,

the references to early Irish or Hiberno-Latin sources are fre-

quently supplemented by references to modern scholarly works

in which motifs found in Celtic are cited for purposes of com-

parative study in various fields of literary or cultural history,

such as mediaeval romance. A few references to early Welsh

made to cover modern Irish folklore, scattered references to that

field have also been inserted. To insure as wide usefulness as

possible, preference is given to translations contained in books

of relatively easy accessibility, and more than one reference is

frequently given to different translations of a single motif.

For assistance in connection with the present work, thanks

recorded here. Especial gratitude is due to Professor F. N.

Robinson, under whose inspiration this index was begun as a

class exercise nearly half-a-century ago; to Dr. R. I. Best, whose

card-index in the National Library of Ireland was placed at the

compiler's disposal; to Mrs. Lucile Grigorieff, Miss Mary

Margaret Toole, and Mr. Kenneth Gantz, who collected or checked

many of the references; and to Professor Stith Thompson and

Professor Archer Taylor, whose constant encouragement is large-

ly responsible for the publication of this volume.
