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.
