ropea_, May, 1875, p. 441. [9] Pitre, I. p. cxxxviii. [10] This legend is mentioned in a popular Sicilian legend in verse, see Pitre, _Canti pop. sic._ II. p. 368, and is the subject of a chap-book, the title of which is given by Pitre, _Fiabe_, vol. IV. p. 397. [11] _Preghiere pop. veneziane_ raccolte da Dom. Giuseppe Bernoni, p. 18. [12] Pitre, I. p. cxxxiii. For earlier appearances of the Wandering Jew in Italian literature, see A. D'Ancona, _La Leggenda dell' Ebreo errante, Nuova Antologia_, serie II. vol. XXIII. 1880, p. 425; _Romania_, vol. X. p. 212, _Le Juif errant en Italia au XIII^e siecle_, G. Paris and A. D'Ancona; vol. XII. p. 112, _Encore le Juif errant en Italie_, A. D'Ancona, and _Giornale Storico_, vol. III. p. 231, R. Renier, where an Italian text of the XVIII. cent. is printed for the first time. The myth of the Wandering Jew can best be studied in the following recent works: G. Paris, _Le Juif Errant, Extrait de l'Encyclopedie des Sciences Religieuses_, Paris, 1880; Dr. L. Neubaur, _Die Sage vom ewigen Juden_, Leipzig, 1884; P. Cassel, _Ahasverus, die Sage vom ewigen Juden_, Berlin, 1885. The name Buttadeu (Buttadaeus in the Latin texts of the XVII. cent.) has been explained in various ways. It is probably from the Ital. verb _buttare_, to thrust away, and _dio_, God. [13] Crivoliu is a corruption of Gregoriu, Gregory, and the legend is, as Koehler says, a peculiar transformation of the well-known legend of "Gregory on the Stone." For the legend in general, see A. D'Ancona's Introduction to the _Leggenda di Vergogna e la Leggenda di Giuda_, Bologna, 1869, and F. Lippold, _Ueber die Quelle des Gregorius Hartmann's von Aue_, Leipzig, 1869, p. 50 _et seq._ See also Pitre's notes to No. 117. An example of this class of stories from Cyprus may be found in the _Jahrb._ XI. p. 357. [14] See Koehler's notes to Gonz., No. 90, and _Sacre Rappresentazioni dei Secoli XIV.-XVI._ raccolte e illustrate di A. D'Ancona, Florence, 1872, III. p. 435. There is another legend of St. James of Galicia in Busk, p. 208, entitled "The Pilgrims." A husband and wife make the usual vow to St. James that if he will give them children they will make the pilgrimage to Santiago. When the children are fifteen and sixteen the parents start on the pilgrimage, taking with them the son, and leaving the daughter in charge of a priest, who wrote slanderous letters about her, whereupon the son returned suddenly, slew his sister
