Abstract

Although Immanuel of Rome’s Bisbidis abounds with onomatopoeic inventiveness, it has received little critical attention aside from its status as a curiosity: a dazzling poem by the only Italian Jew with extant medieval Italian lyrics. While this paper explores Immanuel’s familiarity with works by Cecco Angiolieri, Dante Alighieri, and other duecento Italian poets, it aims to demonstrate the ways in which Bisbidis embodies the medieval Hebrew-via-Arabic genre of the maqāma. After providing background on secular medieval Hebrew literature composed in the Mediterranean region and situating Immanuel’s composition in its literary-historical context, I evaluate several components – including thematic, formal, and philological correspondences – that Bisbidis shares with the Hebrew maqāma.

罗马比比迪斯的伊曼纽尔:意大利人Maqāma?

尽管罗马比比迪斯的《以马内利》充满了拟声词的创造力，但除了作为一件奇闻之外，它几乎没有受到批评:这是一首由唯一的意大利犹太人创作的令人眼花缭乱的诗，歌词是现存的中世纪意大利语。本文探讨了以马内利对切科·安杰列里、但丁和其他意大利诗人作品的熟悉程度，旨在展示比斯比迪斯如何体现了maqāma这种中世纪希伯来语-阿拉伯语流派。在提供了地中海地区创作的世俗中世纪希伯来文学的背景，并将以马内利的作品置于其文学历史背景之后，我评估了比比迪斯与希伯来语maqāma共有的几个组成部分——包括主题、形式和语言学上的对应。

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.
