The Ramessid Egyptian tale «The Doomed Prince» had a Greek version, by Diodorus Siculus, an Islamic Egyptian version, collected by Abū Ḥāmid Al-Garnāṭī, and a Castillian version, by Juan Ruiz of Alcalá, related to the Persian versions (following Edgar Knowlton) more than to the Celtic and neo-Latin ones. This pressence of the tale in Spain can be completed with the modern version of José Ramón Mélida. In this article we will study the relation of the Hispanic versions with the prototypic text. The wisdom of the wonderful 19th-century scholar Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo will be continuously alleged.
