FIRST EDITION. The poet Immanuel ben Solomon (Manoello Giudeo) resided originally in Rome and afterwards in different Italian cities. A prolific versifier, he introduced into Italy Spanish metrical forms, modeled on the classic Hebrew poets Solomon ibn Gabirol, Judah Halevi and Judah Al-Charizi, and was the first to adapt the Petrarchian sonnet form to Hebrew poetry. In his Machbarot he combined, within a narrative framework, poems and rhymed prose on love, wine and friendship with satires, allusions, riddles, epigrams, epistles, elegies and religious poems. The last work in this collection, the Machberet (Ha-Tofet ve-ha-Eden), an account of a journey through hell and paradise, was modeled after Dante's Divina Commedia.
A second edition of this collection of verse was published by Gershom Soncino's son Elieser, Constantinople, 1535 (Vinograd, Thesaurus, p. 606, no. 153). A separate edition of the Machberet ha-Tofet ve-ha-Eden was printed at Prague in 1613 (Vinograd, Thesaurus, p. 537, no. 229), and at Frankfurt am Main 1713 (Vinograd, Thesaurus, p. 586, no. 312); a Yiddish translation of that part appeared at Prague about 1660-1662 (Vinograd, Thesaurus, p. 541, no. 427). A German translation, Tofet und Eden oder die Divina Commedia, was published by M.E. Stern, Vienna 1865, and an English translation, Tophet and Eden, by H. Gollancz, appeared in London in 1921. A critical, vocalized Hebrew edition by D. Jarden was published in 1957 in Jerusalem in two volumes: The Cantos of Immanuel of Rome (Machberot Immanu'el Ha-Romi). Edited on the Basis of Early Manuscripts and Printed Editions with Introduction, Commentary, Source References, Appendices and Indices.
