And the Hello and welcome to Disney Story Origins episode 3, Sleeping Beauty. I'm not going to The The Sleeping Beauty, the story with its many varied renditions and adaptations has intrigued readers

and audiences for centuries. It's been told and reold continuously in movies, plays, novels, and poetry,

resonating with our ancestors as well as our own generations.

Different versions of Sleeping Beauty appear throughout Europe, but mostly in Italy, France, and Germany.

Many fairy tale scholars identified the story of Troyless and Zeelandine in the French authoritarian romance,

La Roman de Pence Forest, as the first literary version of the tale published

in 1528.

Now it's not the first medieval version of this story, but it's certainly the best known.

About a hundred years later, Sun Moon and Talia appeared in Jan Batista Bessils

Il Pentamaroni, published somewhere between 1634 and 1636.

This story resembles Troyless and Zellindine with some notable editions.

Those two are the earliest recorded versions of the Sleeping Beauty tale,

and they're considerably different from the beloved tale that we're familiar with today.

While the Grimm's version is the most popular one today,

the familiar name of the tale, Sleeping Beauty,

comes from Charles Peralt.

Charles Peralt's Sleeping Beauty in the Wood appeared in 1697 as the first story in his history or tales of the past.

In 1812, Yachop and Wilhelm Grimm included their version called Little Briar Rose in their kinder, gentler,

children's, and household tales.

At first they weren't sure they should put it in their German collection because of its French and

Italian forebears, but then they remembered

the epic 13th century Germanic Volsunga Saga, Brunhilda.
