Bücher von Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Solomon ibn Gabirol (1021-1058) was a Jewish philosopher and moralist. Hailed by scholars as one of the most important classics of Hebrew literature, his poem, ""Keter Malkhut"" (The Kingly Crown), employs the metaphor of a king in his palace to describe the relationship between humanity and God.

Includes poems from nearly various of Ibn Gabirol's secular and liturgical lyric genres, as well as a translation of the poet's long masterwork, "Kingdom's Crown." This book contains an introduction, which places the poetry in historical context and charts its influence through the centuries.
