The work of the Judeo-Spanish poet and exegete Abraham Ibn Ezra (d. 1167 C.E.) featuring the language of the Song is perhaps the best showcase of the interplay between sacred and secular in Hebrew Andalusī literature. When it comes to the Song, Ibn Ezra literally wrote the book on it, a commentary that gives equal treatment to its literal and allegorical meanings. He also made use of the language of the Song in many literary works of various genres. Through his work we are privileged with a unique glimpse into the beating heart of Hebrew Andalusī culture.
