Vulture in a Cage
"Vulture in a cage," Solomon Ibn Gabirol's own self-description, is an apt image for a poet who was obsessed with the impediments posed by the body and the material world to the realization of his spiritual ambition of elevating his soul to the empyrean. Ibn Gabirol's poetry is enormously influential, laying the groundwork for generations of Hebrew poets who follow him--rocky and harsh, full of original imagery and barbed wit, and yet no one surpassed him for the limpid beauty of his devotional verse. His poetry is at once a record of the inner life of a tormented poet and a monument to the Judeo-Arabic culture that produced him. This book contains the most extensive collection of Ibn Gabirol's poetry ever published in English.

Unlike his worldly predecessor Shmuel HaNagid, the first important poet of the period, Ibn Gabirol was a reclusive, mystically inclined figure whose modern-sounding medieval poems range from sublime descriptions of the heavenly spheres to poisonous jabs at court life and its pretenders. His verse, which demonstrates complete mastery of the classicizing avant-garde poetics of the day, grafted an Arabic aesthetic onto a biblical vo...
Keter Malkhut
Keter Malkhut is perhaps the greatest religious Hebrew poem of the Middle Ages which, in three parts, celebrates God, the wonders of creation and is penitential. Written by Solomon ibn Gabirol (1021-1058), a Jewish philosopher living in Spain, the poem provides an insight into his philosophy, scientific and religious knowledge, and his creativity. This book consists of a new edition of Bernard Lewis' 1961 English translation with facing-page Hebrew, along with an exteded introduction and commentary on Solomon ibn Gabirol, his life and background within the realms of medieval philosophy and mysticism.
The Classic Jewish Philosophers
This book provides a standard reference of the major medieval Jewish philosophers, as well as an eminently readable narrative of the course of medieval Jewish philosophical thought, presented as a response to the spiritual-intellectual challenges facing Judaism in that period.
