Da Piera was a prolific poet and letter-writer. Appreciation of his flowery epistolary style led to many commissions both on the part of individuals and of the Jewish community of Saragossa. He and Solomon Bonafed, among several others, contributed to a renaissance of Hebrew poetry in Spain in which a Christian-Spanish influence was felt alongside the Arabic. A literary circle in Salonica in the second half of the sixteenth century enabled the preservation of manuscripts of those poets (Encyclopaedia Judaica) Hebrew: Sefardic cursive hand. Abraham Joseph Solomon Graziano (signed אי"ש ג"ר, fol. 108r); S. Halberstam (signed on front pastedown); Montefiore College, Ramsgate (stamp on ff. 1r and 108v). |
