| Summary: | A new poetic form emerged among Jews in seventeenth-century Yemen. It is associated with R. Sālim al-Šabazî, its most prolific practitioner. Scholars disagree on the causes for this development, some pointing to earlier models in Jewish literature, others arguing for the influence of Yemeni Arabic poetry on the genre. Here, the controversy surrounding the origins of Šabazian poetry will be discussed. A case for the influence of the semi-vernacular ḥumaynī poetry of Lower Yemeni Sufis on the early development of Šabazian poetry will be advanced. |
