Abstract
Jowan Chy an Hor. John of Chyanhor. The only folktale surviving in the Cornish language; originally set down by Nicholas Boson of Newlyn in the seventeenth century. For some time it was thought to have been a composition by his son John Boson. Considered to be a medieval tale, Jowan Chy an Hor is similar to a tale recorded from oral transmission in Popular Tales of the West Highlands by John F. Campbell (1860-1862) and reprinted as Na Tri Chomhairlean (The Three Counsels) in More Tales of the West Highlands in 1940. There is also a Breton version of the tale published by Roparz Hermon in Gwalarn no 20. The Celtic scholar Professor Ludwig Muelhausen published a study of the tale in Die Kornishe Geshichte von der dreiguten ratschwiigen.
