Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the presumptions, interdependences and paradoxes of representations of folktales in 19th century literary collections (Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm Kinder- und Hausmärchen and Mijat Stojanović Narodne pripoviedke) and contemporary scholarly works. The focus is on paratextual and epitextual differences as markers of ideological and epistemological background of Wilhelm Grimm’’s ““Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot”” and its verbatim Croatian translation ““Bielka i Rumenka”” by Mijat Stojanović. In the conclusion, representation (definition and concordance) of Grimm’’s text and its verbatim translation in the latest edition of The Types of International Folktales is discussed regarding the blurring borders between the oral and written, text and research in folk narrative research.
