Description

Paris-Maryland: University Press of Maryland. 2008. 330 p.Marie-Christine Varol is recognized as among today's top scholars and teachers of Judeo-Spanish, and it is a testimony to the excellence of the manual that it has been translated into several national languages of the countries where Judeo-Spanish was once read in newspapers and heard in the shops and the streets as well as in the home.The manual focuses on the Judeo-Spanish of Turkey (Istanbul and Izmir) as opposed to that of Greece or the Balkans as representative of a language community which is still vital. Even so Varol points out where the language of Salonika or Sarajevo differs and in no way slights their cultural and historical significance.
