He was the creator of a new form of sutz'zzz, and was fol lowed by an imitative school of Paz'tam'm. His style is condensed, obscure, and full of allusions to Hagadic pas sages. Oi this allusive style, the first line of the seventh stanza in the following poem (15m ll? Nd) may be taken as an example. Tradition makes Jacob linger for four teen years, on his way to Mesopotamia, in the houses of study of Shem and Eber. Other legends are told of Jacob's love of learning - Kalir's compositions number over two hundred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
