The
Book of Tahkemoni
Jewish Tales from Medieval Spain
Translated
from Hebrew, explicated, and annotated by David Simha Segal
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details - Reviews - Prizes
'This
new edition and translation is a formidable work of scholarship. In addition
to a readable version of a complicated text, Segal offers the reader invaluable
editorial help in negotiating these exotic tales; his extensive set of
analyses of Alharizi's introduction and the fifty "Gates" (or sections)
could constitute a separate monograph . . . A meticulous and accomplished
work that will reward the general reader as well as scholars.'
M. Butovsky, Choice
