In the history of Folktale Studies the origin of the ATU 410 (KHM 50) has been repeatedly disputed. The Brothers Grimm and some researchers emphasized the Germanic origin, but others argued for the Romance and even non-European origins. This work offers a general overview of the most famous reference texts, namely the third edition of the Folktales notes by Brothers Grimm (KHM-Anm3) and the revised notes by Bolte and Polivka (BP), the Folktales Catalogues (AT/ATU index), the German Folktales Concise Dictionary (HdM), as well as the Encyclopedia of Folktales. Wilhelm Grimm emphasized the Germanic origin. His followers agreed with the opinions of the Brothers Grimm, but some combined these with Benfey, whose own findings place the origin of the European Folktales in India and whose stance was contrary to that of the Brothers Grimm, including Antti Aarne, who founded the basis of the AT/ATU index. Furthermore, Bolte and Polivka, the greatest successors of the Brothers Grimm, argued against them and drew attention to several Romance variations of the tale. Aarnes's successor, Thompson saw the Romance tradition as crucial to the tale's origins. Even today, ATU 410 is often considered solely in relation to Romance literary traditions. Yet Uther and Neemann reveal the abundance in variations on ATU 410 independent of the Romance tradition. These variations are also worth considering.
