- Title
Giqatilla's Philosophical Poems on the Hebrew Vowels: Poetry, Philosophy, and Theology in Giqatilla's Ginnat Egoz and Sefer ha-Niqqud.

- Abstract
In the present paper, I will examine Yosef ben Abraham Giqatilla's philosophical poems on the Hebrew vowels that are included in his three early works on "punctuation:" the third section from the larger Ginnat Egoz ("The Nut Garden"), the longer version of Sefer ha-Niqqud ("The Book of Punctuation"), and a short version of the latter. Scholarship on the chronology of these three texts has been inconclusive. I will argue that a textual comparison of Giqatilla's philosophical poems and an analysis of their paratextual function allow for a solution, and therefore a possible chronology of their composition.
