Unlike the Hebrew maqāma from Iberia, the Hebrew maqāma from Yemen has received little attention. This article brings the reader into the world of the Yemeni Hebrew maqāma between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries with such works as Aluʾel’s “Dispute Between the Calf and the Slaughterer,” the seemingly related “Parable of the Rooster,” “Haman’s Epistle,” al-Ḍāhirī’s Sefer ha-musar (roughly, “Book of adab ”), Ḥarazi’s “Paths of Faith,” and Ma…

Connu sous le nom de Be-shem el asher amar, ce poeme associe une louange a Dieu, des meditations philosophiques et des themes de penitence.

Apres avoir mis en valeur l'omnipotence divine et son car…
