Jewish Poet in Muslim Egypt: Moses Dar'is Hebrew Collection (Etudes Sur Le Judaisme Medieval)

Moses Dar'i of Alexandria was the product of both Arab courtly culture and Jewish civilization. This collection of his work reflects the tension and blend between his two contrasting backgrounds. This volume offers a close reading of the over 500 of his writings. This gives good reason to believe that he lived in the first half of the 13th century and was familiar with the writings of the Hispanic-Hebrew Rabbinates Judah Ha-Levi and Moses Ibn Ezra, and was influenced by their work.
