A compilation of passages from the Book of Splendor, the main medieval text of Jewish mysticism, addressing non-verbal sound, song and singing (celestial and human). Indices cross relate between subjects and concepts treated in diverse passages
The original German version of the epoch-making monograph by Robert Lachmann (published originally in 1942 in English without musical examples and photographs) on the musical culture of the venerable Jewish community from the Island of Djerba, off the southern coast of Tunisia. Reaching far beyond this specific case, which served Lachmann as a kind of pilot project, the book has become a model that scholars may find applicable to other issues in ethnomusicology.

La ballada del soldado
Mi suegra, la negra
Delgadita
El sueño de la hija del rey
Una matica de ruda
La historia de Zimbolucha

18 años tengo
Pobereta muchachica
¡Bre Sarica!
El rey Nimrod
Buena semana
La caleja de Matalón
Por qué lloraj, blanca niña
¡Hija mia, mi querida!
Dame la mano, tú, palomba
Nanni
En este mundo
Piso oro, piso plata
El moro Zaide
Peinando 'stava la reina
Odeja ki anitani
Estávase la mora
Arvolikos d'almendra - Ya salió de la mar la galana - Una matica de ruda
Cuando el rey Nimrod
A la una nací yo
Tres hermanicas eran
Siete fijos tiene hana
Durme, durme hermozo hijico
Decilde a la morena
