Abstract

The dīwān (book of poems) of the eleventh-century polymath and Hebrew poet of Granada, Samuel ha-Nagid, contains unexpected musical aspects. This article reveals a formerly unknown comment by the poet’s son, which indicates that the shorter poems of the book were all set to music and performed in the poet’s court. The article discusses the implications of this discovery and its importance for understanding both ha-Nagid’s poetry and the musical practices of al-Andalus. Unique literary phenomena such as poem-cycles and “twin poems” that share similar structure are examined through their relations to the early Andalusian nawba (suite) and to the practice of composing contrafacta respectively.

萨缪尔·哈·纳吉德Dīwān的音乐

11世纪博学的格拉纳达希伯来诗人塞缪尔·哈·纳吉德(Samuel ha-Nagid)的dīwān(诗集)包含了意想不到的音乐方面。这篇文章揭示了诗人的儿子以前不为人知的评论，这表明这本书的短诗都被配乐并在诗人的宫廷里表演。本文讨论了这一发现的含义及其对理解哈-纳吉德诗歌和安达卢斯音乐实践的重要性。独特的文学现象，如诗歌循环和“双生诗”，具有相似的结构，分别通过它们与早期安达卢西亚的nawba(组诗)和创作契约的实践的关系来研究。

期刊介绍： Medieval Encounters promotes discussion and dialogue accross cultural, linguistic and disciplinary boundaries on the interactions of Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures during the period from the fourth through to the sixteenth century C.E. Culture is defined in its widest form to include art, all manner of history, languages, literature, medicine, music, philosophy, religion and science. The geographic limits of inquiry will be bounded only by the limits in which the traditions interacted. Confluence, too, will be construed in its widest form to permit exploration of more indirect interactions and influences and to permit examination of important subjects on a comparative basis.
