Description

This text edition of liturgical poems of the synagogue poet Yehudah provides a unique corpus of Hebrew compositions based on manuscript fragments from the Genizah collection. Yehudah's poetry reflects the importance of Hebrew poetry from the liturgy of the synagogue in early Palestinian Judaism. This study highlights the historical and literary context of Yehudah's poetry against the background of Byzantine Jewry.
