This translation comes from the Balkans, which hosted a lively Ladino literary milieu in the early 1900s. While many works from this period were lost, most presumed destroyed during the Holocaust, a growing number are being found around the world. This edition of Romeo and Juliet, one of the only Ladino copies in North America, came into the possession of the National Sephardic Library after a woman discovered it mixed in with her departed husband’s books. How he obtained the work remains unknown
