- LEVI, JOSHUA JOSEPH BEN DAVID
- LEVI, JOSHUA JOSEPH BEN DAVID (c. 1700), Venetian Hebrew
poet. His elegies on the death of various contemporaries are all
distinguished by their excellent style.
Among those lamented are moses zacuto
, Abraham Ẓemaḥ (a lamentation for both in 24 octaves, 1692?),
samuel aboab (1694?), and Mose Merari. Joshua Joseph's best-known
piece is Kos Tanḥumim (Venice, 1707), being an elegy on Mose
Levi Muggia, part of which was republished by J. Schirmann in his
anthology (1934). A prose introduction and a sonnet by Levi are printed
in samson morpurgo 's Eẓ ha-Da'at (Venice, 1704, p.
37a–b).
