Medieval Hebrew Poetry, Satyrical Poetry, Yehuda al-HariziAbstract
Much has been researched on the seven centuries when Muslims, Christians, and Jews inhabited the Iberian Peninsula. Much has been written about the Convivencia, about the Golden Age of Iberian Jewry, about cultural exchanges and mutual influences between the three ethnic groups. My goal here is to focus on the appreciation of the genre of satirical poetry by the ethnic groups. Among the Jews, satire has been practiced since biblical times. Among the Arabs, the maqama genre allowed the emergence of poets of the level of al-Hariri. Among Christians, one of the mainstreams of Galician--Portuguese poetry was represented by the Songs of Scorn and Cursing. In the presentation, I will try to make hypotheses about the occurrence of possible influences, especially by and about Jews. For this, I’ll detain myself on two Jewish poets who distinguished themselves by their satirical compositions, Yehuda al-Harizi and Todros Abulafia.
