- JOSEPH BEN SOLOMON OF CARCASSONNE
- JOSEPH BEN SOLOMON OF CARCASSONNE (11th century),
liturgical poet. One of the first representatives of the
piyyut in France, Joseph is already quoted by rashi .
His yoẓer for the first Sabbath of Ḥanukkah (Odekha Ki
Anafta) appears in the German-Polish and in the Roman rites, and
has repeatedly been printed and commented upon. The poem is composed in
the old poetic style, in strophes of three lines, with a nine-fold
alphabetical acrostic. Its content is largely based on the Scroll of
Antiochus, the Book of Judith, and the Books of the Maccabees
(I, ch. 1 and II, chs. 6–7).
