The full edition of the secular poems of Yehudah Halevi is published here for the first time, based on the original collection of his poems edited by his contemporary Haya the Maghribean, who met the poet in Egypt. The poems follow Judaeo-Arabic incipits, which are discussed and translated into Hebrew by the modern editor. Variants, as well as a full modern Hebrew translation have been added.
"This volume, a landmark publication, presents for the first time a comprehensive edition of these poems, meticulously reconstructed from the original collection compiled by Halevi’s contemporary, Haya the Maghribean, who personally encountered the poet in Egypt. Yahalom’s profound scholarship, previously evidenced in his 2009 monograph Yehuda Halevi: Poetry and Pilgrimage, is once again on full display, offering an invaluable contribution to the study of medieval Hebrew literature." - Federico Dal Bo, Review of Biblical Literature, September 2025
