Hailed by scholars as one of the most important classics of Hebrew literature, \u003cem\u003eThe Kingly Crown\u003c\/em\u003e employs the metaphor of a king in his palace to describe the relationship between humanity and God. This medieval poem is full of vivid imagery and scriptural references. Within its many layers of meaning, readers will find not only an extended prayer and meditation, but also signs of the neoplatonic philosophy that formed the foundation of Gabirol's cosmology and theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe University of Notre Dame Press is pleased to bring back in print Bernard Lewis's lyrical translation of \u003cem\u003eThe Kingly Crown\u003c\/em\u003e. This new edition includes Lewis's extensive notes and introduction as well as a new introduction, notes, and detailed philosophical commentary by Andrew L. Gluck. Gluck's meticulous correction of errors in the Hebrew text make this the most accurate version ever published with an English translation. Facing page Hebrew verse and English translation, as well as a new bibliographical section about the poet and poem, add to the utility and value of this wonderful book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral readers will delight in \u003cem\u003eThe Kingly Crown\u003c\/em\u003e's lucid text and scholars will discover a wealth of previously unavailable notes and historical information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Solomon Ibn Gabirol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 026803303X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268033033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.84h x 5.76w x 0.84d","brand":"Solomon Ibn Gabirol","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946377314559,"sku":"9780268033033","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_05838443-26f0-43bf-9675-bbf7c48fa3d8.jpg?v=1681512802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kingly-crown-solomon-ibn-gabirol-9780268033033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
