13. The "White Lady" in Bohemia.

I. In Bohemian Literature, 1. Belles-Lettres. Much of the "popular" tradition is merely literary invention, and has to be distinguished from the real traditional material, especially as the literature has really influenced the genuine popular tradition. ''The Beautiful Olivia, or the Terror in the White Tower: a true tale of the Thirteenth Century. Translated into Bohemian from Procopius the Hoary''. Prague, 1798 (reprints 1844, 1858). This is the first popular booklet. The original—not as in Procopius—is in Spiess's {{lang|de|Biographien der Selbstmörder}}, 1785. Variants of this German story from Bohemia are in Th. Vernaleken, {{lang|de|Mythen u. Bräuche d. Volkes in Osterreich}}, Wien, 1859, p. 123, and J. V. Grohmann, {{lang|de|Sagen aus Böhmen}}, Prag, 1863, p. 59 (=L. Laistner, {{lang|de|Das Rätsel der Sphinx}}, Berlin, 1889, v. p. 232 n.). On December 1, 1844, the State Theatre gave The White Lady of Neuhaus, or the Sinner a Protector after Death. The German original in four acts was by F. Feslitz; the translation was by Jan Kaska.

In 1845 K. {{SIC|Vetterll|Veterl}} published at Prague The White Lady, or the Sweet Pap: an origittal National Farce in One Act by Hanna Lykiška. The author was a priest, Jan Vlček-Vlčkovský. The story is based on Balbín, and is sufificiently oddly put together to be specially discommended.

Then comes a popular print: The White Lady of Neuhaus: a Narrative of the Fifteenth Century. Jihlav, printed and published by I. Rypl. There are two reprints, the latest of the three being of 1888. This work is the popular source of the tale of the white lady, but it is not original, but a shortened paraphrase of the German popular work, ''{{lang|de|Die weisse Frau in Neuhaus. Geister}}''-
