Title: ha-Gaʻaguʻim ṿeha-ḳinah ʻal he-ʻarim ba-shirah ha-ʻArvit ṿeha-ʻIvrit be-Andalusyah
Description: "The work deals with the subject of hanin (yearning and lamenting) for cities in the Arabic starting from the pre-Islamic period up to the Islamic Andalusian period and in the Hebrew Andalusian poetry in the 11th-12th centuries. It focused on the four poets of that period. Two Muslims - the Sicilian Ibn-Hamadis (1132-1055) who left to Seville, where he lived for many years before wandering to North Africa; and Ibn Khafaja (1138-1058), who was born in Shukar, Valencia, and later moved to Morocco. And the two Jews - Moshe Ibn Ezra (1138-1085), who was born in Muslim Granada and moved to Chrisitan Castille; and Yehuda Halevi (1141-1075), who was born in Castille, wandered to Muslim Spain and eventually stopped in the Land of Israel" -- Back cover.
