Typological reconstruction and analysis of paleofolklore forms based on fragmentary monuments of traditional literature[Типологическая Реконструкция И Анализ Палеофольклорных Форм На Материале Фрагментарных Памятников Традиционной Словесности]

Among the texts of ancient Egyptian literature that have come down to us, there are several narrative works, which in publications, translations and research are usually called tales, stories, Märchen, Sagen, tales, stories, romans, contes, etc. Due to their poor preservation and the presence of numerous lacunae before the researcher is faced with problems of a reconstructive nature, it is necessary to fill in meaningful gaps, without which many damaged fragments cannot be adequately understood at all. Additional opportunities for reading them can be provided by the toolkit of comparative folklore, since without the inclusion of the subject in question in the corresponding typological series, it is impossible to understand its true meaning in the cultural tradition. Comparison of oral versions of the same plots with these ancient monuments clarifies some of their dark places in the narrative. The situation is similar with the fairy tale "The Doomed Tsarevich" (XIII century BC), which is discussed in detail in the article.
