Keywords:
Records on Gargantua and Pantagruel prior to Rabelais, Gargantua in French medieval folkloreAbstract
This article analyses the first records containing the names Gargantua and Pantagruel. The pre-sixteenth century popular legend of the benevolent giant, Gangantua, which still persisted in nineteenth and twentieth century French folklore, is studied together with the diverse hypotheses accounting for his origin. As for the other main character in Rabelais’s saga, Pantagruel, also prior to the sixteenth century, this work presents him as non-existent in French rural legends.
