Cantor-Poets on Greece’s Periphery: Macedonia, Bulgaria, Corfu, Kaffa (Crimea) and Crete
View through CrossRef
This chapter highlights the cantor-poets in Macedonia and Bulgaria. A distinctive feature in the Macedonian liturgy of the eleventh and twelfth centuries is the rise of messianic hopes. Mordecai b. Šabbetai seeks to ascertain the ’end-time’, and Menaḥem b. Elia is persuaded that Israel’s redeemer-king riding on a donkey is fast approaching. Indeed, the suffering that Jewish communities endured at the hands of the Crusader mobs in 1096 was interpreted as the ’birth-pangs’ of the Messiah, and led Jewish notables to calculate that the ’end-time’ was near. Other principal Macedonian and Bulgarian rabbi-poets include Tobias b. Eliezer, Eliezer b. Judah, and Šabbetai Ḥaviv. The chapter then describes hymnography in Corfu, Kaffa (Crimea), and Crete. It looks at the Corfiote, Kaffan, and Cretan poets.
