This work is a motif-index of ogre and devil stories. The first part (pp. 23-195) is devoted to die Riesen and the second part (pp. 196-288) to der riesische Teufel. The fist part consists of 78 motivs, the  second 73. Roughly speaking, these are types. For each type references are given by geographic location (see maps, pp. 13-14). The bibliography is on pp. 15-22.

"Each variant...is presented with information on 1)the title of the folktale; 2) provenance; 3) original manuscript; 4) tradition carrier (informant); 5) recorder and year of recording; 6) printed edition"--introduction. Following A-th very closelym, the index includes an appendix listing those types that do not fit the international system. There are about 30 of these. Also, following each major section of tales (animal tales, ordinary tales, etc.) there are lists of tales without A-Th numbers. "The aitiological legends have been inserted following the legendary folktales and arranged in accordance with Verzeichnis der finnischen Ursprungssagen FFC no. 8"--introduction. Under each type, variants are listed geographically. There are indexes by collector and locale. A comprehensive bibliography for Norwegian reseach into folktales is included and is divided into various sections such as printed folktale editions and newspapers. Abbreviations used in the type index: pp. 16-17. The introduction gives a brief history of Norwegian tale cataloging and collecting.

Haring takes his lead from Propp and not Aarne-Thompson, thus giving a structuralist classification. His work is also based on Denise Paulme's "Morphologie de Contes Africain," Cahiers d'Etude Africaines, 12(1972), pp. 131-163. An extensive introduction (pp. 7-61) discusses the rationale for such an approach and describes the Malagasy tale corpus. An outline of the classification is found on pp. 63-75. Tables providing coordination with A-Th and the motif-index (pp. 485-505) conclude the index. For each tale listed, a title with bibliographic references is given, followed by a plot summary using structuralist principles. Standard motif and type numbers are included in the body of the text, as appropriate. Daniel J. Crowley's "Haring's Herring: Theoretical Implications of the Malagasy Tale Index," Journal of Folklore Research, 23(1986), pp. 43-51, is not quite as critical as its title suggests. Crowley compares Haring's index to several others and indicates where they overlap.

Basing this work on his 1951 Stanford University dissertation, Hansen classifies approximately forty works (see bibliography, pp. xi-xiii) and intends it to be used with Boggs. "This study is part of a plan to provide a complete index of the folktale in Spain and in Hispanic America"--introduction. All new types, subtypes and additions are indicated with a double asterisk. Dozens of new types are suggested. Animal tales were a problem. A key-word index concludes the work.

In his 102 page introduction, Hahn gives a schematic outline which provides an early example of tale type classification in which Hahn presents types as so-called "radicals," following the terminology used in classical philology of the period. For his collection of Albanian and Greek tales, he provides a coordinating table to other nineteenth century collections including Grimm and the Panchatantra.

Follows FFC 3 for Swedish tales in Finland. For each type, manifestations are listed by locale. Some published sources are included (see p. iii). Several new types are suggested and summaries are given with these in addition to a proposed title.

Unable to follow Thompson's format, Granger established her own. A statistical analysis of the tales is presented in introductory matter with a summary of the legends and their motif content. Appendix A is "a motif index for lost mines and treasures" and begins with an outline of Granger's scheme. Appendix B is "list of motifs" and refers to page number in the introductory material. Finally, an extensive bibliography and index are provided.

Basing her work on twenty-four collections of tales, Flowers notes major additions to the standard indexes including references to the devil spouse and animal spouse motifs. "The Wheelum stories might also be nominated by type designation." Magic plays a prominent role and is often imposed on the tales with Christian elements. Anansi, the spider, plays a role that dwarfs other figures in number of occurences and story circumstances.

ElisseL
eff coordinated various editions of The Thousand and One Nights by key word and theme. There is also atable of relative lengths of the stories in the editions treated. Personal and geographic names indexes are included. The introduction is a history of translations and editions. The standard editions by Basset and Chauvin are treated here but they also provide much comparative information. Also see Chauvin's bibliographies.

Tables coordinating this index with A-Th begin on p. 421. which are followed by lists of informants and bibliographies. Alphabetical motif-index is on pp. 429-506. Both an extensive tale-type and motif-index are provided. Walter Anderson believed these tales could be incorporated into the international index though Eberhard and Boratav argued that it would be impossible since Turkish tales combine in irregular ways. See Walter Anderson, "Der Turkische MaLrchenschatz,"Hessische BlaLtter fuLr Volkskunde, 44(1953), PP. 111-132. See also the extensive review by A. Tietze in Oriens, 7(1954), pp. 141-152 which provided many new references. Also see Heda Jason and O. Schnitzler, "The Eberhard-Boratav Index of Turkish Folktales in the Light of the New Revision of Aarne-Thompson's Types of the Folktale," Folktale Research Center Studies, 1(1970), pp. 43-71.

A supplement to the original work by Paul Delarue and Marie-Louise TeneLze. Covers types 850-999 (romantic tales).

Does not follow the Aarne-Thompson type index but each of the 215 types of marchen and 31 types of schwanke is summarized with bibliographic references. A table of place of origin for the tales is found on pp. 381-398. Also see Nai-Tung Ting's A type index of Chinese folktales : in the oral tradition and major works of non-religious classical literature.

Arranges texts of tales in Aarne-Thompson order with analysis. Voles 1-2 cover magic tales (types 300-750). The first volume has a two part bibliography: the first general works on the folktales, the second on the French folktale. Volume 3 lists animal tales and volume 4 religious tales (types 750-849)  but only the first part appeared. There are many chapters on the theory of classification, etc.

Cross applies the motif-index to approximately 350 works of Irish literature. "It follows Professor Thompson's method of classification and enumeration, numbers not occurring in Professor Thompson's work being marked with an asterisk"--preface. Many new motifs are suggested. Bibliography and abbreviations--pp. xv-xx.

Clements found it necessary to create a new system of classification related to Aarne-Thompson, but still distant from it. Based on materials from the Indiana University Folklore Archives, this index is supplemented by Richard Dorson's materials from Michigan State and printed sources.

"The culture area concept was employed to provide an arbitrary limit... so that the published folk literature might be classified in some detail"--abstract. Since culture-area 5 is on the west coast of Africa, Clarke hypothesizes that the index may be useful in the study of world folk literature.

See reviews: by H. Jason in Fabula, 47(2006), pp. 172-186; by S. Naithani, in Asian Folklore Studies. 65(2006), pp. 97-98.

Christian summarizes his Norsk Eventyr (Kristiana: J. Dybwad, 1921, 152 pp.). The preface contains a brief history of Norwegian folktale collecting. The letters next to the type numbers indicate counties of Norway in which the tales may be found. New types are indicated with asterisks. About 25 are suggested.

Although dealing specifically with Norwegian legends, this work proposes a universal list of legends. Christiansen felt that superimposing his numbers on the type-index would be detrimental so he begins at number 3000. Each type is given a title and number, followed by brief motif analysis, bibliographic references and content summary. The bibliography only lists those sources that have beeen consulted repeatedly. References to types are divided into regions of Norway. He divides legends into eight major categories: 3000-3025, The Black Book of Magic. The Experts; 3030-3080, Witches and Witchcraft; 4000-4050, Legends of the Human Soul, of Ghosts and Revenants; 4050-4090; Spirits of Rivers, Lakes and the Sea; 5000-5050, Trolls and Giants; 5050-6070, the Fairies; 7000-7020, Domestic Spirits Nisse, Haugetusse, Tusse, Gobonden; 7025-8025, Local Legends of Places, Events and Persons. It concludes with a description of the contents of the Norwegian archives.

See the review by A. Taylor in Western Folklore, 21(1962), pp. 130-132.

Does not follow A-Th although cross reference tables are provided along with ones giving coordination with Ikeda and Eberhard. "2500 tales were gathered for materials of classification...and were classified into 651 types"--pref. Bibliographic sources are cited; see bibliography pp. vi-ix.

See the following reviews: by W. Eberhard in Western Folklore, 41(1982), pp. 162-164; by J.W. Heisig in Asian Folklore Studies, 40(1981), PP. 114-116; by R.L. Janelli in Journal of American Folklore, 94(1981), pp. 232-234; by R. Schenda in Fabula 22(1981), pp. 114-116.

The introduction defines the picaresque genre. Based on thirty picaresque novels, there are "numerous new entries" not found in Thompson's motif-inex. An index of authors and titles and a summary are provided at the end of the work.

See the following reviews: by H. Baader in Romanische Forschungen, 91(1979), pp. 340-342; by J.W. Hassell, Jr. in Journal of American Folklore, 94(1981), PP. 399-400; by R. Moore in International Fiction Review, 5(1978), pp. 153-156

Tales types are listed in columns with references to tale texts in the body of the volume. Meant to supplement Hansen's Latin American Index.

Appendix C (pp. 344-355) is titled "Some types of Indo-European Folktales which was revised by Mr. Joseph Jacobs from the classification of the Rev. S. Baring-Gould in the first edition of Henderson's Folklore of the Northern Counties." Titles are provided for 70 tales with their contents enumerated.

Part A--Folk Narratives; Part B--Folk Legends. Part A, vol. 1 includes "Index of Tale Types and Migratory Legends," pp. 35-77 which contains references to A-Th, Baughman and Christiansen's migratory legend index.  Suggested new types number about 40. There is a short type index in Part B as well: pp. xxv-xxxix. Much of the commentary on the tales covers questions of classification.

In A-Th numerical order, indexes and provides comentary on manuscript and published material though the focus is on manuscripts especially those collected by the author. The introduction provides background on how the material was collected and how it is integrated into the index. For each type an appropriate title is given which may vary from the A-Th title. Under each title the following are given as necessary: 1) motif, here, meaning a summary 2) list of versions 3) possible variations and 4) commentary which often refers to Eberhard-Boratav's index of Turkish tales. The type analysis appears on pp. 1-78. and is followed by commentary on unclassified material. Thirty-four tales are translated in vol. 1 and thirty-six in vol. 2. Basted on the author's 1970 Sorbonne disseration, the material here is included in Marzolph's more inclusive index.

"Designed to fill a gap in Stith Thompson's Motif Index of folk literature"--pref. The preface also notes the most important changes to Thompson.

Reprint with the following pagination. 556 pp.; 566 pp.; 624 pp.; 486 pp.; 305 pp.The first three volumes discuss the texts of the 225 tales of the Brothers Grimm, tracing various editions and sources. Volume 3 (pp. 560-624) concludes with a bibliography of these sources.  In volumes four and five various authors discuss many sources of tale collections from all over the world and each author also includes an essay on the character of the folktale.

R.S. Boggs in Journal of American Folklore, 46(1933), PP. 97-100

M. Gaster in Folklore (London), 42(1931), pp. 198-201.

K. Spiess in Volkslied, 333(1932), pp. 98-100.

Using a linguistic definition of spanish this work concentrates on Old World materials nonetheless. Boggs uses the type index (FFC 74). Based entirely on published materials, Bogg notes, "I am aware of no great manuscript collections of folktales in Spain"--p. 7. Spanish-American references are grouped by country. He used a manuscript edition of the motif index to assign motif numbers. Key-word index is included.

The animal tales from India were too numerous to be included in the type-index although cooridination with that system and three other relevant ones is provided on p. 144. "Based on material available in the Danish Folklore archives and in the Royal Library in Copenhagen, supplemented with some works borrowed from the principlal libraries in Sweden, Germany and England. On the basis of this material it has been possible to determine about 750 types, with in all some 3100 references to sources and bibliography"--preface. Bodker dosn not include aetiological animal tales or cumulative tales since they "have no particular action, and are therefore difficult to place in a type-index"--preface.

Follows Thompson who offers a tribute to Boberg here with the bio-bibliography.

Based on Baron's collection of Latvian folksongs. Does not use Aarne's system but summarizes the collection in seventeen chapters with titles such as "social groups" or "orphans."

Supercedes earlier Hungarian indexes by Honti and Berze Nagy. Follows A-th closely.

Follows the standard indexes. Extensive bibliography (pp. xxii-lxx). Intended to "show the frequency of occurrence and the distribution of each tale, and to determine, as far as possible, what the relationship between the tales of the two countries has been."--into.

Using A-Th as the basis of classification this works makes reference to and has table corrdinating it with Anderev and Krzyzanowski. The introduction is a comparative study of the tales of the eastern Slavs, which are defined here as the Russians, Byelorussians and Ukranians. Significant numbers of new types are suggested and are indicated by asterisks or other punctuation. For each type, references are broken down by the three ethnic groups covered. Appendices: 1. contamination of motifs which are traditional in Eastern Slavic folklore; 2. tables of corresponding numbers in Andreev and A-Th; 3. bibliography of important studies in Eastern Slavic folktales; 4. list of indexes of folktales and related genres; and 5. geographic index.

Includes publishe material upto 1976. For most types many bibliographic references are given. Follows A-Th closely though many types are suggested.

See reviews by Robert Hemenway in Western Folklore 48(1984), pp. 150-151; by Rainer Wehse in Fabula 24(1983), pp. 289-290.

Includes tables linking the analogues to the tale type- and motif-indexes for the nine Uncle Remus books.

A type index followed by a motif index. Manuscript sources are included. Indexes by names, location and sources.  Superceded by Renato Aprile's Indice delle fiabe popolari italiane di magia (GR176 .A67 2000)

Volume 3 consists of indexes, one of which is a motif index which does not follow  Thompson.

A University of California, Berkeley dissertation. Intended for the Northern section of the East African Cattle Area, an area well represented by published folktale collections. Aarne-Thompson does not serve this area, especially in animal tales. The four principal categories of classfication are: stories of origins, animal tales, ordinary tales, and formula tales. Single published versions are included. A motif-index appendix is included with an "AT/Arewa Index Correlation Table." Arewa indicates the index is not complete but should be seen as a beginning for future indexing. Reprinted by New York: Arno Press, 1980.

Meant as a supplement to Alma Medne-Romane's Latviesu dzivenieku pasakas. Though the complete text is in Latvian, English and Russian summareis are given. The index is a complete catalog of the Folklore Department Manuscript Archive of the A. Upits Institute of Language and Literature and is supplemented by printed sources as well. See the review by Vilmos Voigt in Fabula 19(19178), pp. 308-312.

Conforms to the types of FFC 3 (1911), but has tables for comparision to FFC 74 (1928). The supplement provides a proposed outline for a classification scheme for legends and other genres which Andreev believes are peculiar to Russia.

Typically known as the "tale type index," it has been succeeded by Hans-JoLrg Uther's revision Types of International Folktale (2004).

Includes analysis as well as classification of Finnish origin tales.

Based on Aarne's FFC 5 and FFC 8, this provides more specialized classifications for Finnish explanations of animal and natural sounds.

Provides type analysis to the major collections of German, Danish, Russian, Sicilian, Greek and Albanian folktales. For each work there are two columns. The first lists the number assined to each tale in the work, the second lists it tale type equivalent according to FFC 3 (1911).

Provides type analysis to the major collections of German, Danish, Russian, Sicilian, Greek and Albanian folktales. For each work there are two columns,. The first lists the number assigned to each tale in the work, the second lists its tale type equivalent according to FFC 3 (1911).

A supplement to FFC 5 (1911) adding materials made available after 1908.

A detailed analysis and classification of the Finnish tale corpus from both printed and manuscript sources. The introduction provides a brief survey of tale collecting and collections in Finland. Two maps indicating distribution of tales are included. A list of those who contributed manuscripts is given.  See also Aarne's supplement FFC 33 (1920).

An index to the manuscripts of tales collected in Estonia by Hurt (over 10,000) and Eisen (14,000). rferences are given by type nu mber which are divided by geographic location of the source of the tale. The specific references are to individual volumes of bound manuscripts which are differentiated by size of the volume (quarto, folio, etc.).

The standard index to folktale plots. Usually references as ATU for Aarne Thompson Uther. This is a total revision of The Types of the Folktale FFC 184 (1961). Extensive indexes.

A guide to 186 indexes in book, journal article, and unpublished formats. Includes references to book reviews. See review by by Hans-JoLrg Uther, The Journal of American Folklore, Vol. 102, No. 406, (Oct. - Dec., 1989), pp. 479-484.

Over 3,000 evaluative reviews in 9 chapters: Favorite Directors, Favorite Stars, The Arts, Of Queer Interest, Of Lesbian Interest, Of Gay Male Interest, Camp, and Honorable and Dishonorable Mention. Indeses by titles, directors, personalities and themes.

"If readers can get past the somewhat inaccurate title (there are many non-British listings in this work), they will have a hard time ever putting it down. There are over 3,000 entries covering characters in fiction, real-life people, professions, character names, abstract subjects, film and program titles, and much more in the realm of English-language cinema, television, and radio (primarily from Britain, but also from the United States and Australia)." Library Journal

Vol. 1: Lesbian histories and cultures; Vol. 2: Gay histories and cultures. Thematic, biographical signed articles with bibliographies. Detailed index in each volume. Broad subject guide is a preface.

Strong in pop culture. Some entries have bibliographies. Obviously strong on French and European topics.

"This dictionary attempts to focus on the more political lesbian liberation and rights movement and does not attempt to list all the lesbian artists and literary figures--unless they have made a contribution to the movement or were so referential that omitting  them would be heretical."--pref. Excellent 50+ pp. bibliographic guide to the topic.

The encyclopedia begins with a survey of about 20 spiritual traditions and their connection to the queer community. The alphaabetical entries follow. There is also a bibliography of relevant and cited works

Eribon is one of the major gay historians and philosophers. About 100 different contributing authors to 600 entries. Most are short but there are a few photo essays included as well. A topically arranged bibliography and a personal name index.

Defines lesbian and gay writing as "texts with a lesbian and/or gay content or texts written by writers who identify publically as lesbian and gay, or who are known to be lesbian or gay."--intro. International in scope, includes living authors as well.

"Bibliographic record of major print and filmed works relating to Canadian gay and lesbian life from 1984 to 2000" with some from 2001 and 2002. Several thousand books and magazine, newspaper and journal articles with annotations. Name index.

International in scope but n.b. includes only men. Sources are listed for each of the 1400 entries. Some entries are contoversial.

Over 50 entries. Contemporary is defined broadly. "Each of the entries begins with relevant biographical information on the novelist, offers an interpretive summary of his major texts, provides an overview of the critical reception accorded his work and concludes with a selected bibliography that lists, separately, the primary works and secondary sources."pref. Though dated now, the 1993 publication date is hardly contemporary, the essays here serve as a good foundation for research.

The rough cutoff is 1995. There are author, title and subject entries. Most of the author entries are quite long. The thematic entries are also long. All usually have bibliographic references. The title entries are very good about giving why they are relevant to gay and lesbian content in Australia.

"We decided that we wouold include authors who, at some point during the 1970-1992 period, had written as self-identified lesbians"--pref. Each entry is divided into 5 parts: biography, major works and themes, critical reception, honors and awards, and bibliography of primary and secondary literature.

For each of the 100 or so signed entries the following format is followed: biography, major works and themes, critical reception and bibliography consisting of works by and about the author.

Over 130 scholars contribute. Most entries have bibliographies. Admirably international in scope, contents are not limited to gays and lesbians but also include those who have had influence in LGBT history such as Diana, Princess of Wales. Writers, activists, academics are all included. The dividing line of World War II focuses on which era the individual was likely to have had the most influence.

Nearly 700 entries with plot summaries and publication information. Arranged by author. Index by title. List of agents and theaters.

Long annotations for over 275 titles. Only includes recommended books and rejects those that included negative stereotypes or those not meeting the standards outlined in the section "suggested guidelines for evaluting books with lesbian and gay content." Most books are set in the United States. Seven chapters: picture books, fiction, short stories, nonfiction, biography and autobiography, books for librarians, educators parents, and other adults, and author profiles.

Be sure to read the "how to use" section beginning on p. 17 which preceeds the main entry, author section.

Not comprehensive and only selectively annotated. Arranged in 12 broadly conceived subject chapters such as life course development and mental health. Limited to works published between 1993 and August 2000. No index.

Over 1,000 entries. International in scope. Very few entries have references though there is a select bibiography as an appendix.

Focuses on the post-1945 world. Many biographical and geographical signed articles some with bibliography. Detailed index. Appendixes describe the state of sex laws at publication date and also have lists of organizations.

Roughly 500 signed entries with bibliographies, preceeded by a chronology. Especially strong in biography. Appendixes: schematic grouping of entries, and list of relevant depositories of LGBT materials.

The focus is on Europe and "societies of European settlement." The main criterion for inclusion is the influence of the individual on gay and lesbian history so there are several entries for straight people  such as Freud and St. Paul or others who were more ambiguous such as Stephen Spender.  An international team of scholars contributed to the project. Articles are signed with bibliographies.

The 130 entries are up-to-date as of the end of 1993. Over 60 scholars contributed to the project. Each entry has a bibliography of works and criticism. There are also general bibliographies. Includes Spanish and Portuguese authors.

Lists over 7,200 titles many with addresses. Divided into 3 sections: periodicals, guides and directories, and catalogs. There is also an index by proad topic and location of publication. More comprehensive than Worldcat.

Over 770 signed articles, some with bibliographies. Meant to be interdisciplinary but does have a key to groupings of entries by discipline.
