SCHEINDLIN, RAYMOND P.

The Song of the Distant Dove: Judah Halevi's Pilgrimage

Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2008. xii, 310 pp. As new. Hardcover with dustjacket. Judah Halevi (ca 1085-1141), the best-known and most beloved of premodern Hebrew poets, abandoned his home and family in Spain and spent the last year of his life traveling to the Land of Israel, where he hoped to die amid its sacred ruins. The Song of the Distant Dove tells the story of Halevis journey through selections from the documents, some never before available in English, and explores its meaning through discussions of his stirring poetry, presented in new verse translations with full commentary. In the course of the discussion, we meet Halevis circle of Jewish businessmen and intellectuals in Islamic Spain and Egypt, examine their way of life, and learn about their place in Arabic and Islamic culture, then at its height. We learn that Halevi was partially motivated by a desire to repudiate his contemporaries hybrid Judeo-Arabic culture and return to a purely Jewish way of life; ISBN: 9780195315424

SHEPKARU, SHMUEL

Jewish Martyrs in the Pagan and Christian Worlds. ISBN 9780521842815

Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2006. XII, 414 pp. Fine copy. Orig. cloth with dustjacket. This book presents a linear history of Jewish martyrdom, from the Hellenistic period to the high Middle Ages. Following the chronology of sources, the study challenges the general consensus that martyrdom was an original Hellenistic Jewish idea. Instead, Jews like Philo and Josephus internalised the idealised Roman concept of voluntary death and presented it as an old Jewish practice. The centrality of self-sacrifice in Christianity further stimulated the development of rabbinic martyrology and the talmudic guidelines for passive martyrdom. However, when forced to choose between death and conversion in medieval Christendom, European Jews went beyond these guidelines, sacrificing themselves and loved ones. Through death not only did they attempt to prove their religiosity, but also to disprove the religious legitimacy of their Christian persecutors. While martyrs and martyrologies intended to show how Judaism differed from Christianity, they, in fact, reveal a common mindset. ISBN: 9780521842815

Solomon Ibn Gabirol, David R. Slavitt (Translator)

A Crown for the King [Hebrew with English translation]

New York/Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1998. xxii, 88 pp., Very good copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Bilingual. Solomon ibn Gabirol (ca. 1021--ca. 1058) was the greatest of the Spanish Jewish poets and an important neoplatonist philosopher. Translated into Latin in the mid-twelfth century, his philosophical work became influential among scholars who were unaware that Avicebron (as his last name was Latinized) was a Jew and a celebrated writer of religious hymns. The Royal Crown (or, ''A Crown for the King'' in Slavitt's translation) is the greatest of Gabirols poems. Bernard Lewis has called it one of the major works of Hebrew literature since the completion of the Old Testament. ISBN: 9780195119626
