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.

Ballad Title Not Yet Identified title: Diego León canción. inf4 En la siudad de Madrid se cría una hermosa dama. Esa tal no tiene padre, pero poco la faltaba. Eya tenía un padrastro, igual que a su hija la amaba. No la casan porque es joven, porque [para] un pariente la guardan. Enfrente de eya vivía un joven de buena cara. Tanto se quieren los dos que con la vista se hablan. También se hablan a solas por una baja ventana. Un día la vio el joven, la dise -- Bien de mi alma, mañana te he de pedir, no sé si es cosa sercana. -- Lo que la dama le responde, lo que al joven le agradaba. -- No se te dé nada, mi vida, no se te dé nada, mi alma. Basta que tú seas hombre para cumplir tu palabra. Yo también seré mujer para salir de mi casa. Con lo poco que tú tengas y lo que yo me yevara, las hasiendas de mi padre no puedo, yo, perdonarlas. -- El joven se fue contento y la dama muy consolada. El joven se fue contento y la dama muy consolada. comentario inf1 Ahí termino. Samuel G. Armistead Esta bueno. fin de cinta
