The Book of Tahkemoni
Manage episode 363110836 series 2819105
In this fourth of our five-episode series in partnership with the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University, we explore The Book of Tahkemoni, a collection of tales written in Hebrew in the early 13th century. Authored by Yehuda Alharizi, who was born in Toledo, Spain in the middle of the 12th century, the book uses the structure of the Arabic literary form known as maqama.
Dr. Jonathan Decter, the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Sephardic Studies, discusses the history of Jews in medieval Spain and shares about the cultural influences and experiences present in Alharizi’s work.
This episode is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
