Abstract: This collection consists of 84 ballad texts, representing 73 different narrative types, collected by Zarita Nahón in the Jewish community of Tangier in 1929. Several text-types which have never been printed before or which have been known only in a very limited number of published variants are included. Other texts offer variants of well known narratives which supplement our knowledge of the traditional life of the ballads in question. Each text-type is accompanied by a bibliography of published variants and a study relating it to the Sephardic, Pan-Hispanic, and Pan-European ballad traditions. Thc book includes seven musicological transcriptions with commentary by Israel J. Katz. A thematic classification, bibliography, indices of ballad titles and first verses, and a glossary of dialect forms and Hebrew and Arabic words are also provided.
