Studies in the Medieval Hebrew Tradition of the Haririan and Harizian Maqama. Mahberot Eitan ha-Ezrahi

by Michael Rand

Published 14 October 2021

This work contains a Hebrew and an English section. The former is an edition of the Mahberot Eitan ha-Ezrahi, a maqama collection composed after the pattern of al-Harizi's Tahkemoni. 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 Maqamat of al-Hariri, starting from a review of the evidence for the presence of the Maqamat in the world of Hebrew letters, through the Tahkemoni, and concluding with the Mahbarot of Immanuel ha-Romi.
