Whose Todros is it anyway? A medieval Hebrew poet between Europe and Israel

🇪🇸 Todros Ben Yehudah Halevi Abulafia (1247- ca. 1295) fue un poeta hebreo medieval que vivió y escribió en Toledo, España, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIII. Fue una figura única, ya que fue el único poeta judío de la corte del rey Alfonso X "el Sabio" que gozaba de su patrocinio directo, a quien dedicó varios poemas. Su vida se destacó por su asimilación en la sociedad cristiana, su amor por la vida disoluta y su fama como mujeriego. Abulafia fue un poeta en la diáspora, cuya poesía, influenciada por los trovadores cristianos de su tiempo, refleja tanto el estilo andalusí de los poetas hebreos como los gustos literarios de la España medieval. Tras la expulsión de los judíos en 1492, Abulafia quedó prácticamente olvidado en España, y fue redescubierto en el siglo XVII, cuando un escriba egipcio copió su diwan (colección de poemas), el cual pasó por varias manos antes de llegar al erudito David Yellin. La recepción de Abulafia varió según la perspectiva cultural, destacándose la controversia entre quienes lo consideraban un genio literario y quienes lo veían como un imitador mediocre. Su poesía ha sido estudiada por figuras como Moses Gaster, Saul Abdallah Yosef y Jefim Schirmann, quienes interpretaron su estilo cosmopolita y su relación con la cultura cristiana española de manera diferente, dependiendo de su propia relación con las culturas de la diáspora y la tierra natal.

🇺🇸 Todros Ben Yehudah Halevi Abulafia (1247- ca. 1295) was a medieval Hebrew poet who lived and wrote in Toledo, Spain, during the second half of the 13th century. He was unique in that he was the only Jewish poet at the court of King Alfonso X "the Wise", who directly patronized him and to whom he dedicated several poems. Abulafia's life was marked by his assimilation into Christian society, his love for a dissolute life, and his fame as a womanizer. A diasporic poet, his poetry, influenced by Christian troubadours of his time, reflects both the Andalusian style of Hebrew poets and the literary tastes of medieval Spain. After the 1492 expulsion of Jews, Abulafia was virtually forgotten in Spain and was rediscovered in the 17th century when an Egyptian scribe copied his diwan (collection of poems), which passed through several hands before reaching scholar David Yellin. Abulafia's reception varied depending on cultural perspectives, with some considering him a literary genius and others dismissing him as a mediocre imitator. His poetry has been studied by figures like Moses Gaster, Saul Abdallah Yosef, and Jefim Schirmann, who interpreted his cosmopolitan style and relationship with Christian Spanish culture differently, depending on their own relationship with diaspora and homeland cultures.

It already has the beginnings of the wattles on its neck. Nope, don't know what gender it is and I used a long lens to get these shots. These are birds you don't want to mess with. This one, with its father, walked through the camp site and then back into the rainforest. Diwan, Daintree National Park.
