This book offers for the first time a critical edition of works by 14 Jewish poets living in Crete under the rule of Byzantium (961-1204) and Venice (1204-1669). The poems--collected from manuscripts and rare printed editions of Balkans literature in the Bodelian, Oxford; the BritishMuseum; the Biblioteca Palatina, Parma; the Vatican; the Montefiore Collection, London; and the Adler Collection, New York--encompass a wide range of themes and forms.
