Thanks, Steve, for taking the trouble to look those up. It seems a bit discourteous for me to reward your efforts by now disagreeing with what you said before. However, I can't square your belief that the oral versions of Child 1 are all derived from the 17th century broadside, with the fact that the Devil turns up independently in oral versions ranging from Motherwell's MS to Williams' Folk Songs of the Upper Thames and Mrs. Rill Martin's in Virginia in 1922. Which rather suggests that Devil versions were circulating independently of the 17th century broadside, perhaps right back to the 15th century Inter Diabolus et Virgo you mentioned earlier... doesn't it?
