Jewish Prince in Moslem Spain : Selected Poems of Samuel Ibn Nagrela Paperback / softback
Edited by Leon J. Weinberger
Part of the Judaic Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Of all the Hebrew poets of the 'Golden Age' in Spain, Samuel Ibn Nagrela (993-1056 A.D.) remains perhaps the most fascinating personality.
A leading statesman in the kingdom of Granada, he was as successful in court as on the battlefield, maintaining a position of power for several decades while walking a political tightrope.
Endowed with great literary talents, he opened up new paths in Hebrew poetry, and his mastery of its metrical intricacies was as consummate as his political and military skill.
