Zusammenfassung

The author explores folkloric themes of «two brothers» and «faithful servant ». These themes appear in many texts from the late eleventh century, sometimes together and others separately. In medieval Latin literature, the most important testimonies containing these folk themes are an epistle of Radolfus Tortarius and the Vincent of Beauvais� Speculum historiale; in medieval French literature, are the chanson de geste of Amis and Amile and a theatral play, a «miracle» of the XIVth century; in Castille the issue is well known thanks to the book of chivalry of Oliveros de Castilla y Artús d�Algarbe, translation of a French roman by Philippe Camus (midxvth century). In addition to these texts, the author examines some Italian miracles of St. James (XVIIIth century) and a Serbian folk tale.
