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.

"Todo al que a eya no fuere su cazza'stará'n prisión, sea conde, sea duque, sea grande emperador". Y ahí s'aljadró el marquesito, qu'a su casa se yegó. -- Maldesida seas, Agda, por mitad del corasón. Siete hembra[s] me tuvites, entre eyas ningún varón. -- Todas las siete cayaron, sólo la chiquita habló: -- Perdón, perdón, mi señor, no maldigadh a mi madre.

Traime un cabayo blanco, a la guerra iré yo. -- La tu[s] cabeyos, mi niña, de hembra son y no es varón. -- Con el sombrero, mi padre, me los taparía yo. -- Los pechesitos, mi niña, de hembra son y non varón. -- Con el chaleco, mi padre, me los taparía yo. -- Las tu[s] manitas, mi niña, de hembra son y no es varón. -- Con los guantesitos, padre, me las taparía yo. -- Cabalgó la niña en mula, a mula que no es cabayo.
