The "Folk Literature of the Sephardic Jews Multimedia Digital LIbrary" is funded by a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Digital Library Initiative Phase 2 and the Maurice Amado Foundation. The goal is to create a web-accessible archive of the Sephardic oral literature collected by Samuel G. Armistead, Joseph H. Silverman and Israel J. Katz in fieldwork conducted since 1957.

Commentary on transcriptions has been provided by Samuel G. Armistead, who is solely responsible for identifying the ballad-titles and other genres of this folk literature.

The orthographic conventions used in transcribing these files are based upon those of Samuel G. Armistead. We have attempted to represent all variations from the pronunciation of modern Castilian Spanish and our orthography therefore captures phonetic phenomena which use of modern Spanish orthography would otherwise obscure. The full description of our conventions is available on the home page of the website.

Y a la ves me comunicó por teléfono que él estaba dedicándose a haser un libro o qué sobre la vida de los judíos sefarditas. inf2 ¿Está buena esta vos o quiere más alta? inf3 Está muy bien. inf1 Como ustedes verán, el español antiguo, no se usaba la jota sino la zhe. Y muchas palabras [ se corrige ] letras de la "j", las pronunsiábamos "zhe". Como dezzir, embazho, hizha, tizhera, puzhar, que es empujar, como ustedes verán. Esta cansión que voy a cantar ahora, es una cansión que cuando el padre del niño, el día de la sircunsisión, que es a los ocho días [ word ] hasían la sircunsisión al niño. Y es así: canción. inf1 comentario inf2 Este pedaso lo va a cortar ... clsp: canción. inf1 cambio de tema
