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.

Sol la Sadika canción. inf1 Cuando Tara levantó el enredo, setensiaron a la hermosa Sol. Y la hisieron un juramento falso en presensia del gobernador. Y el gobernador la dise: -- ¿Y esta mora, qué dise[s] de ti? -- No, señor, yo he nasido hebrea. Hoy, hebrea tengo hoy que morir. -- En la cársel estuvo enserrada sin que nadie la fuera a ver. Sólo que Diodh en su compaña mandaba a el ángel Gabriel. Cuando Sol entró en el palasio, la desía la hija del rey: -- Renega, Sol, de tu ley. De mi hermano, serás su mujer. -- Yendo Sol dise muy altiva: -- Yo no quiero bienes, ni alhajas, ni ponerme corona de reina para renegar de mi ley. Yo soy hebrea nasida y apresio la ley de Moisé, que del monte de Sinaí la trajo den presensia de todo Israel. -- Mira, Sol, que te van a matar. Cuatro horitas te damos de tiempo. Piénsalo bien y no te olvide[s] que morirás dentro de una hora. -- Y el verdugo desvaina su espada en el cueyo de la hermosa Sol. Y la dise: -- Si quieres ser mora, piénsalo bien qu'aún tiene lugar. -- Por el mundo se estienda mi historia, las donseyas que cobren valor, no fiarsen de ninguna mora para verse como se vio Sol. fin de cinta
