Abstract


Discussion of the character of the female matchmaker (šadkanīt) and her qualities in medieval Hebrew Literature of the Peninsula. Reference is made to three match­makers: 1) Kozbî, in the book Minḥaṯ Yĕhûdâ, ‛sône’ ha-našîm, by Yehudah Ibn Šabbatay, 2) Śiṭnâ in Al-Ḥarizi's sixth maqama, 3) The demonic woman, The Laundress, in Josef Ibn Zabarra's Sefer Ša‛ašu‛îm. They are considered literary precedents of the Castilian matchmakers Trotaconventos and Celestina.
