Abstract

The Darocan-born Pedro Ciruelo (XVI century), philosopher, theologian and scientist, prepared a literal, interlinear (verb for verb) translation of many books of the Hebrew Bible. He began this enormous task ca. 1526, and was still engaged in it twelve years later. In light of the literal, interlinear translation of the Pentateuch (1536), Alonso de Zamora (who apparently was his Hebrew teacher and academic mentor) composed a Hebrew poem in praise of the masterwork. The present article includes the edition of the original Hebrew poetic text (the provenance of which is MS. 589 of the Biblioteca Universitaria of Salamanca, fol. 274), its Spanish translation, and an explanation of the importance that Ciruelo and the converso Alonso de Zamora attributed to the extremely literal translation of the Hebrew Bible.
