"Diverted from the mainstream of Hispanic culture at the end of the Middle
Ages, Judeo-Hispanic language and folk literature - despite the absorption of
numerous Balkan elements - constitute in essence a living, contemporary document
of late 15th century Spanish linguistic and folkloric forms and, as such, are of
inestimable value to Hispanists and folklorists alike. Judeo-Hispanic culture in
Bosnia today is, however, rapidly approaching extinction" (p.3).
