Abstract

Jokes belong to oral and popular literature. They are constantly present in daily life, but often we do not pay attention to them. Currently there are but a few anthologies or studies focusing on jokes. The aim of this article is to present some jokes that appeared in Sephardic newspapers that were published in different cities during the same period (1880-1910): Ilustra Guerta de Istoria (Vienna), Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), El Pasa-tiempo (Plovdiv) y El Grasiozo (Constantinople).
