Abstract

77
Thirty five years ago, the author and J. B. de Avalle-Arce started a written discussion on the Bahrprobe: “Corpse bleeds when murderer touches it”. The moment has arrived to use it as a token of friendship and appreciation. Alternating old and new arguments, well known texts and less known samples, the subject proceeds along a revision of the motif in Spanish Literature and Folklore, including different registers, and an exercise of Comparative Literature as well. A humorous reflection conveys a smile to the reader of this Festschrift. To be continued.
