Origins The two paragraphs about the Christian allegorical theme about love and the two brides being based on two meanings of love which relate to the latin words amor and veritas seems contradictory to the fact that the story is apparently based on a RussianJewish folktale  Although the ChristianJewish contradiction may be attributed to the relationship between the two religions the fact that the entire thing is made clear by the fact that the meanings of love come out better in Latin raises a few red flags for me Hell Russian isnt even a Romance language  On top of all that I can find no evidence that Theophile Guerin ever existed or his  book about a monk and a dead woman  Its very interesting as an idea but since this information of Guerin is given rather than a citation I say that the entire two paragraphs should be IMMEDIATELY deleted  However Ive already spent too much time writing all this and researching that and am too unsure to actually delete it  If i get around to rechecking this discussion and no one has said anything or disagreed I will edit the entry as there is no citation and it seems unfactual and invented  fictional   THalleck
