Reviews"Professor Armistead and his associates, with meticulous scholarship and con amore , have saved a unique and priceless segment of Jewish folk tradition from extinction. A precious record. "--Theodore Gaster, Professor Armistead and his associates, with meticulous scholarship and con amore , have saved a unique and priceless segment of Jewish folk tradition from extinction. A precious record.

SynopsisThe Judeo-Spanish folk literature of the Sephardic Jews of Bosnia, and with it their uncommonly rich balladry, has remained largely unknown to Western scholars. Since their move to Sarajevo in the sixteenth century, Serob-Croatian has displaced their original Spanish, and the entire culture is rapidly approaching extinction. This book preserved for posterity three fundamentally important groups of these rare ballads: Kalmi Baruch's Spanski romanse ; ballads collected from the readers of the Sarajevo newspaper Jevrejski Glas ; and five previously unedited eighteenth-century Bosnian ballads from a manuscript in the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. Notes, abstracts in English, reproductions of the music itself, and other scholarly aids serve to make this colorful and strangely modern literature fully accessible to Hispanists, folklorists, and all students of comparative literature and Judaic culture.
