Abstract:
Yosef ben Tanḥum Hayerushalmi (born c. 1262) was the last major Hebrew poet active in Egypt in the middle ages. His Dīwān (collection of poetry) contains the conventional genres of medieval secular poetry. It survived in a number of manuscripts, but has not yet been fully published. Based on new discoveries from manuscripts in the Second Firkovitch Collection in St. Petersburg, the article deals with three aspects of the poetry of Yosef ha-Yerushalmi: The first part presents formerly unknown poems that belong to the dīwān’s fifth section, dedicated to love lyrics and wine poetry. The second part completes a missing passage in one of Hayerushalmi’s rhymed maqāmāt, Maḥberet ha-Shibbuṣim. The last part deals extensively with strophic poems related by familial resemblance, presenting models that the poet imitated in two of the poems included in the dīwān’s fifth section. While the first of the two shares an identical Arabic kharja with one of Hayerushalmi’s poems, the second was written entirely in Hebrew. It also served as a model for later Oriental poems for several centuries.
