RIETI

A Hebrew Dante: Moshe da Rieti's "Miqdash Me'at", its cultural context and reception

Project summary:Moshe ben Yitz?aq of Rieti (Mosè di Gaio, Rieti 1388-Rome, before 1466) was the leading Jewish-Italian philosopher and poet of the first half of the 15th century. His main work, Miqdash me'at (Little Sanctuary), is a poem of around 5,000 Hebrew verses in terza rima (the metre used in Dante's Divine Comedy) with religious, scientific and philosophical content. Using a subdivision that corresponds to the different zones of the Jerusalem temple, Rieti first expounds the profane or "external" sciences of the medieval trivium and quadrivium.
