David Hakohen (also haKohen or Ha-Kohen) was a late thirteenth-century Hebrew liturgical poet from Avignon, who wrote from a Jewish perspective in the troubadouresque tradition.〔W. D. Paden and F. F. Paden (2007), ''Troubadour Poems from the South of France'' (Cambridge: D. S. Brewer), 231–32.〕〔Andrew V. Ettin (1994), ''Speaking Silences: Stillness and Voice in Modern Thought and Jewish Tradition'' (University of Virginia Press), 37.〕 His most published work, "Silence and Praise" (''Hishtaḥavi u-birkhi''), is in the form of a ''muwashshah'', a prelude to prayer. Ironically, the ode pledges that the prayer will be silent. It has been translated into English.〔The standard edition, in T. Carmi, ed. (1981), ''The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse'' (New York: Viking Press), 396–97, has been partly revised in Paden and Paden, 231–32, and Ettin, 37.〕 It opens like this: :Bow down, my soul, and kneel before my rock of refuge; :Praise the Lord and bless Him! :My lips are too low to sing his high praises. :My years are too few to recite his glorious works. :All my days would not suffice to tell his mighty deeds. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Hakohen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
