Abstract


In this article we offer a Spanish translation with a commentary of the fourth chapter of Sefer ha-Mešalim, a collection of tales written by Jacob ben Eleazar of Toledo (13th century) in the style of Maqāmāt; this chapter, known as the Debate between the Pen and the Sword, shows, in an allegorical way, the supremacy of the arts over the arms.
