Immanuel the Roman's critique of Dante's Divine Comedy and Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed
(This book is the first attempt to demonstrate that a deep...)
This book is the first attempt to demonstrate that a deep, serious philosophical meaning underlies the immediate, light surface of Immanuel's poetry. An Epicurean, Immanuel lashed out against the most advanced and venerated religious ideas of his time: Christianity as expressed by Dante and the Judaism of Maimonides.

Immanuel ben Solomon ben Jekuthiel
Edit Profile
also known as
Immanuel of Rome, Immanuel Romano, Manoello Giudeo
Education
Immanuel's studies consisted not only of biblical and talmudic literature, but also mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and Islamic and Christian philosophy. He devoted himself to the study of rhyme, took lessons in versification, and read the works of the foremost Jewish and Christian poets. Among his teachers he mentions Benjamin ben Joab and his cousin Daniel. He may also have been a pupil of Zerahiah ben Shealtiel Hen.
Career
Immanuel was a contemporary and friend of Dante, and his verse shows the influence of the "divine poet. " His commentaries on Proverbs, Psalms, Job and other Biblical books are good examples of the current symbolical methods which Dante so supremely used. He had an excellent memory and spoke Italian, Arabic, Latin and perhaps some Greek. He especially devoted himself to writing verse, encouraged in this by his cousin Judah Romano, one of the foremost Jewish philosophers of his time. Immanuel's fame chiefly rests on his poems, especially the collection entitled Mehabberoth, a series of 27 good-natured satires on Jewish life. Religious and secular topics are indiscriminately interwoven, and severe pietists were offended by Immanuel's erotic style. Most popular is an additional section numbered 28 (often printed by itself) called Hell and Paradise. The poet is conducted by a certain Daniel through the realms of torture and bliss, and Immanuel's pictures and comments are at once vivid and witty. He died in c. 1328.
Achievements
-
Immanuel Ben Solomon was a Hebrew poet who lived mainly in Rome, considered the founder of secular poetic writing in Hebrew. Probably a wandering teacher by profession, he was a prolific writer of Hebrew verse, sacred and secular, which he collected within a rough narrative framework in Maḥbarot Immanuel (“The Compositions of Immanuel”).
