‘La ragazza di feltro’ e ‘La ragazza di legno’: due fiabe kurde meridionali del tipo ATU 510B

In the history of research on the ‘Cinderella Cycle’ (ATU 510), the variants pertaining to the subtype B (e.g. L’orza, Peau d’Asne, Cap o’ Rushes, Allerleirauh, Maria di legno) have received much less attention than those of the subtype A (e.g. La gatta Cennerentola, Cendrillon, Aschenputtel). This contribution presents two versions of ATU 510B (Nameyna ‘the felt-made girl’ and Čuwīna ‘the wooden girl’) collected in the Southern Kurdish-speaking region of West Iran, aiming to provide new material for the study of this tale type in the narrative traditions of the Iranian world.
