Bibliography of Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) Books:
In the United States Library of Congress
One of the many interesting Luso-Hispanic collections in the Library of Congress is a group of some six hundred Ladino volumes in the Hebraic Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division. Henry V. Besso's bibliography, Ladino Books in the Library of Congress, lists nearly three hundred titles, the earliest of which is eleventh-century Bahya Ben Joseph Ibn Pakuda's Sefer Jovot ha-Levavot (El dover de los corasones), printed in Constantinople in 1550 CE.
Added 1/2003: COMING SOON: Prepared in cooperation with the Hispanic Division and the African and Middle Eastern Division, this guide is planned as an online version of the bibliography prepared by Henry V. Besso and published by the Hispanic Foundation of the Library of Congress in 1964. This online version will be updated with approximately 200 additional titles recently identified in the collections of Hebraic Section and also from the general collections of the Library of Congress, and will contain links to the title pages of those titles in the vernacular script.
The document is not in print, or available to order from the U.S. Library of Congress. However, there are copies of this document in various libraries across the United States. It is provided here courtesy of Ana Kurland, Hispanic Reading Room, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
