In Muslim Spain towards the end of the 11th century, centered around the city-kingdom of Granada, there was a unique circle of Hebrew poets, says Brener (Ben-Gurion U.). They were rabbinic scholars, Orthodox Jews devoted to Hebrew language and literature, but also passionate devotees of Arabic poetry and culture. They composed poetry based on classical Arabic poetics and Arabic models of genre and rhetoric, but wrote in Hebrew rather than Arabic and drew on the Bible rather than the Koran. Her study of this circle pivots on Judah, best known now as the author of exquisite lyric poetry describing his longing for Zion and his voyage to the Holy Land in old age, many of whose religious poems grace the pages of Hebrew prayer books the world over. She begins with his journey to Granada, then describes the milieu he found there. Annotation : 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
