The book includes sixteen studies about medieval Hebrew poetry compared with Arabic poetry. It is well known that since the tenth century medieval Hebrew poets took Arabic poetry as the ultimate paradigm in terms of prosody, language purism and rhetorical devices and even in regard to poetical genres. However, the concept unifying all studies in this book is that a comparative examination must consider not only the identical elements in which Hebrew poetry borrowed from the Arabic one, but alos what is much more significant - what Hebrew poetry stubbornly set itself at a distance from Arabic poetry. The conclusive result of this sort of examination is that Hebrew poetry combined selectively borrowed Arabic poetical values with traditional ethical Jewish values to create a distinctive poetical school.

Yosef Tobi, Ph.D. (1980) in Hebrew Literature, Hebrew University, is Professor of Hebrew Literature at The University of Haifa. Won the Bahat Prize for Scholarly Books (1988) and the Jerusalem Prize for Research (1999). He has published extensively on medieval Hebrew poetry, Judeo-Arabic, and the Jews of Yemen and Tunisia, including The Jews of Yemen (Brill 1999) and Proximity and Distance: Medieval Hebrew and Arabic Poetry (Brill 2004).
