Hardcover. Zustand: New. xiii, 230 pages ; 22 cm. Text in English. Poems also in Hebrew. Yehuda Halevi: Poetry and Pilgrimage follows the life story of the greatest Hebrew poet of medieval times from his first publication in Christian Toledo to his heroic journey toward Zion from Muslim Spain. The description is based, for the first time, on the entire collection of his poetry- the Diwan, which was edited and reedited between East and West at every important crossroad of his life. This in turn is done through comparison to autobiographical letters and contemporary correspondence discovered and collected over the past 50 years in the Cairo Geniza collections. Documentary material and Literary works, which were shun behind the iron wall in The Russian National Library in St. Petersburg, are woven for the first time into one, enabling us to examine closely the intricate relationship between old Jewish traditions and the ideological heritage associated with Halevi's innovative writings in prose and in poetry. Confronting Halevi's "Zion, will thou not ask"? opens the study which is mainly concerned with the story of Halevi's odyssey from Christian to Muslim Spain and eventually to Egypt, including the epic quest to the beloved yet fatal Zion. Professor Joseph Yahalom Studies and teaches Hebrew poetry at the Hebrew Literature Department of The Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book follows the origins of the Kedushta, a sequence of poems that leads up to the epitome of Jewish prayer, the Kedusha or Sanctus. It tracks back the earliest forms of prayer in late antiquity and by doing so defines the main characteristics of this genre, both from the standpoint of Rhetoric and poetics. This genre draws from Midrash and Mysticism- adjacent literary forms that influence liturgical poetry. How has such an enigmatic and complex liturgical genre survived the twists and turns of history and is recited to this day, for over 1500 years The answer to this question pertains to both form and content. When analyzing form, we address rhyme, alphabetical acrostics, and different poetic forms. Those all have a specific rhetorical function in determining the structure of the poem, pushing it forward, and musically aligning the different segments. The form cannot be detached from narratology, referencing early midrash and mysticism. In addition, the emotional approach of the private prayer can express one's existential pain as part of an oppressed community. We can follow the composition of the prayer book for each community over the ages, through the first millennium, starting with Geniza fragments to the European prayer books. Finally, these poems use of sophisticated etymology, correlation by sound, leads to innovative Medieval interpretation of the Torah. It seems that the combination of a public recitation, simulating a divine choir, the musicality of the text and emotional depth all contributed to this eternal poetic genre to penetrate cross cutting traditions of prayer throughout the ages.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 412 pages. Samuel ben Hosha na was a prolific author of liturgical poetry and a member of the political and religious leadership of the Jewish community of the Land of Israel in the late tenth and early eleventh century CE, yet over the centuries his poetry and his very existence were forgotten by history. He was rediscovered by twentieth-century scholars from manuscripts in the Cairo Geniza. This volume presents all the information known about Samuel's life, and a selection of his poetry, as well as Megillath Mizrayim, his prose account of a harrowing event that he experienced in Cairo in 1012. The texts are presented in Hebrew, with an English translation on facing pages, and English commentary explaining the poet's allusions.

Some light foxing to the extremities, sound and square otherwise with clean, unmarked text. Out of print and quite scarce in trade. ' The works of the early Hebrew liturgical poet Sim'on bar Megas were until quite recently completely unknown. Now, thanks to new discoveries among fragments of the literature from the Cairo Geniza, we are in possession of a substantial corpus of his poems, and can piece together some rudimentary facts about his life and times. The poet lived in Byzantine Palestine in the sixth or seventh century. He is the author of a cycle of over a hundred and fifty Gedustot based on the Triennial cycle, then current among Palestinian Jewry. The popularity of his works in the synagogues is reflected in the Cambridge Geniza manuscript of the Pizmonim of the Anonymous Poet, which reproduce the opening verse of many poems composed by Sim'on bar Megas. These allusions have helped us to identify almost fifty of his Qedustot, scattered in nearly sixty different manuscripts of the Cairo Geniza. Apart from its intrinsic literary interest, Simon's work represents an important link connecting his predecessor Yannai - whose work he knew and whose influence made itself felt in Sim'on's poems - and the later, better known, El'azar Hagallir. However, Haqallir, whose liturgical poems have predominated in the Ashkenazi books of prayer, wrote only for Holydays and special Sabbaths, whereas Sim'on bar Megas apparently wrote a new composition for his public every week. His Palestinian congregation must certainly have admired and appreciated his work and doubtless supplied him not only with a livelihood but also with the costly parchment on which to record his compositions. For his part, Simon devoted himself to composing in the most exacting and complicated liturgical genre, the Ledusta, a highly organized chain of poems intended for recital during the 'Amida of the Sabbath morning prayer. In his Qedustot, Sim'on touched on many of the themes and issues of concern in his time. In addition to their literary and exegetical merit, his writings constitute one of our few resources for information on Palestinian Jewry, its habits and customs, during the crucial period of transition from the Byzantine to the Arabic period. The ruling government mentioned in Sim'on's poetry is consistently that of Byzantium, and his work is thus one of the last echoes of the original cultural achievements of the Jewish people in their homeland before the Arab conquest. Simon's poetry manifests a special ingenuity in vocabulary and inventiveness in finding neologisms, new poetic forms and structures. Its study can also contribute substantially to our knowledge of Palestinian Hebrew, which was probably still spoken in his time, at least in small villages. The importance of his poetry for understanding contemporary liturgical practices and the way of reciting the Bible in synagogue is beyond doubt. Finally, his poems regularly allude to prose homilies that constituted part of synagogue services; some of these homilies have been known previously only in garbled versions scattered in midrashic literature. In some cases Sim'on's poems enable us to restore the original sense of the text and thus offer a better understanding of this important part of Israel's homiletical literature.
