Author:
This work contains a Hebrew and an English section. The former is an edition of the
Maḥberot Eitan ha-Ezraḥi, a maqama collection composed after the pattern of al-Ḥarizi’s
Taḥkemoni. The edition opens with an introduction, translated at the beginning of the English section. The rest of the English section is devoted to an analysis of that branch of the Hebrew maqama tradition that is rooted in the
Maqāmāt of al-Ḥarīrī, starting from a review of the evidence for the presence of the
Maqāmāt in the world of Hebrew letters, through the
Taḥkemoni, and concluding with the
Maḥbarot of Immanuel ha-Romi.
Michael Rand, Ph.D. (2003), NYU, is Reader in Hebrew and Aramaic at the University of Cambridge. He has published several works on the Hebrew Golden Age tradition, including a study of al-Ḥarizi’s
Taḥkemoni, and others on Late Antique
piyyuṭ.
