| Description |
Samuel Usque was born in the early 1500s in Lisbon. He fled the Inquisition to Italy in mid-century, and died in his sixties in Safed. His work, characterized as a prose poem in the style of pastoral literature, was printed in 1553 for the purpose of providing religious succor for other Portuguese exiles at a time of great suffering. Using pastoral motifs, the work relates the tribulations of Israel throughout the ages inflicted by a loving but stern God who chastises the people for their transgressions. The ultimate consolation is that Israel will one day rule over the remnants of her oppressors. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism - The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) |
