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: Gerineldo (continuación de 62-47a-6) canción. inf1 ... abajó la niña a abrirle,abrióle puerta y postigo. Que de bezzos y abrasosel sueño los ha vensido. Y eyozz en el dulse sueñoy el buen rey que ha consentido. De pronto pronto se calsa,de pronto coge un vestido. Tomó la espada en su mano,fue a dar vuelta a su castiyo. Hayara a los dos durmiendocomo mujer con marido. -- Si mato yo al Girineldo,mi reino será perdido. Si mato a mi hija infanta,será el castiyo vazzío. Más vale que yo me caye,no diga nada a ninguno. -- Puzzo la espada entre medias,pa que sirva de testigo. Y a eso del amaneser,la niña que ha consentido. -- Levántate, el Girineldolevanta, desfavorido, que la espada de mi padreentre los dozz ha dormido. Ves, dale los buenos díascomo se los das continuo. -- Buenos días, mi señor rey.-- Buenos días, Girineldo. ¿Dónde estabazz esta noche,que estás tan descolorido? -- Estaba en un jardín de floresque esta noche han floresido. Con el color de la rozza,me puzzi tan colorido. -- Si yo quizziera matarte,tiempo y lugar he tenido. -- Máteme uste[d], mi señor rey,si lo tengo meresido. -- No te mato, el Girineldo,que te mate el quien te hizzo, que, si mi hija te quiere,tú has de ser su marrido. -- No son tres días pasados,las ricas bodas se armaron. corte de cinta
