LUNEL, JACOB DE
LUNEL, JACOB DE (18th century), Provençal poet. In 1737 he was one of the scholars of Carpentras who approved the publication of the prayers for Rosh Ha-Shanah and the Day of Atonement according to the local rite. He revised and enlarged a Purim play by Mardochée Astruc written in Provençal, which he published in 1774 (new edition by E. Sabatier, 1877). Some of his liturgical poems appear in the Seder ha-Kunteres (Maḥzor Avignon). He also composed a Hebrew ode on the occasion of Louis XV's escape from assassination in 1757; this poem was recited with musical accompaniment in the synagogue of Avignon. -BIBLIOGRAPHY: Zunz, Gesch, 467; idem, in: AZDJ, 3 (1839), 682 no. 47; Neubauer, Cat, 899 no. 2506; Lipschutz, in: REJ, 84 (1927); Davidson, Oẓar, 4 (1933), 414.
