a
website dedicated to the work of
"IMMANUELLO ROMANO,
JEWISH POET OF ROME
c.1261 – c.1332"
The poet of the Machberot
[Conversation Pieces], the author of "Ha-Tofet ve-ha-Eden"
["Hell and Heaven"] and an accomplished sonneteer in both Hebrew and
Italian. His work is "unrivalled for its hilarious word-play and agile
manipulations of the Hebrew language".
This site is part of a developing programme of work
on Immanuello Romano, and on the interaction between Jewish, Arabic and
Christian poetics in the Middle Ages.

researches into Immanuello are part funded
by a Millennium Award through the Jewish
