Abstract

The Payṭan Zevadyah

Starting from the translation of a piyyuṭ by Zevadyah, “A Groom’s Yoṣer”, this paper aims to provide some background information about this otherwise unknown payṭan. Linguistic and thematic clues suggest that Zevadyah was a payṭan from southern Italy, because his piyyuṭim show similar features to those by Amittay ben Šefaṭyah. Moreover, it seems that Zevadyah’s work was used by Amittay as a source for his own piyyuṭim. The author then suggests that the former lived in Oria in the first half of the 9th century.
