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 el gato, por darla un beso, se cayó de su tejado. Se le rumpió la cabesa, media cabesa y un braso. Ya mandan por los ductores, dutores e surujano[s]. De eyos le tocan el pulso, de eyos le tocan la mano. De eyos le tocan el pulso, de eyos le tocan la mano. Todos dizzen a una boca: "Señor gato [es]tá muy malo". Ya se muriótheñor gato que mos robaba [e]l pescado. Las gatas visten de luto, los gatos capote[s] largos. Los ratones, d[e] alegría, saltaban por los tergados. comentario inf2 ¡Qué bien! corte de cinta
