Bøker i Littman Library of Jewish Civi-serien

The years 950-1200 have often been called the Golden Age of the Jews in Spain. During this period, the Jews reached a peak of achievement in all aspects of their life--political, spiritual and cultural. They produced great works of literature and philosophy; their poetry represented a peak of literary achievement unparalleled in Hebrew until the 20th century.

Selected works of three Marrano poets, together with translations into English and explanatory notes, are presented in this volume. In a general introduction the editor explains the historical and literary background of their works and examines the interrelationship between the Jewish and Christian cultural elements.
