38. Judas.

ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

After checking the primary search and two additional whole-plot searches, I retain no ATU type: this is a compact etiological Judas-tree report, not the defining sequences in 1154, 927D, 38, or 1369.

Thompson-Motive

I retain the primary's possible A2721.5 assignment. The source directly links Judas's hanging on elder or willow to adverse tree effects with 'Daher', but does not explicitly state a curse. A2776.2 is limited to the weeping-willow; the source says only Weide. Elder/lightning, elder bleeding, and willow-fruit entries describe different properties.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  A2721.5 is “Tree on which Judas hanged himself cursed,” under A2721 “Plant cursed for impious act.” The source directly links Judas’s hanging to adverse qualities of the named trees (“Daher”), supporting the motif, although it does not explicitly call the trees cursed. “Nach Andern” makes elder and willow alternative versions of the hanging place; the paired consequences are retained as variants of one report, not separate episodes.

  • „Judas Ischarioth soll sich, nachdem er unsern Herrn Jesus verrathen, am Hollunderbaum, nach Andern am Weidenbaum erhängt haben.“
  • „Daher verbreitet der Hollunder einen unangenehmen, stinkenden Geruch und die Weide berstet auf.“
