Printed song sheets as a source of Marian legends. On the two song types from oral tradition

The study of Marian legends has proven that song sheets served as a model for several song types known from the oral tradition. The two so far unknown Marian song-legends documented only in one village in Slovakia (Zablatie by Trencin - Povazie region) could be incorporated into the Slovak repertory thanks to their models – song sheets, the products of the domestic printing works from the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th century (Skalica, Banska Bystrica, Levoca). The song types from the local tradition of this village bring two new topics (“Death of Mary and Assumption”, “Revelation of Mary to orphans”), thus widening the Marian cycle of legend songs reconstructed in the Slovak traditional singing to 18 topics. The existence of printed song sheets demonstrates a wider territorial spreading of the song type than originally proven by the number and localization of records from the oral tradition, being dependent of the collector’s concept.
