This book is a study of Jewish synagogue poetry (Piyyut). It is a high-water point in Jewish religious creativity, and great portions are included in the annual Jewish liturgical calendar. Fishbane focuses on the various genres of these liturgies and their expansion into forms of prosodic epic, particularly those related to the biblical Exodus.
