Joseph H. Silverman (1924-1989) was a Hispanist scholar and professor of Spanish literature
at USC, UCLA, and UCSC. He was the provost of Adlai Stevenson College from 1974 to 1981 and
director of the University of California's Education Abroad Program in Madrid from 1983 to
1985. Silverman specilized in Spanish Golden Age literature, Sephardic balladry, and the
cultural influence of Sephardic Jews on Spanish culture. He often collaborated with other
Hispanist scholars, such as Samuel G. Armistead and Israel J. Katz. He published nearly 300
books, articles, and reviews throughout his career.
