Arabic Abstract

على الرغم من أن العديد من القراء و المعلقين اليهود قد اعترفوا بألحان بايرون العبرية كأغاني مؤيدة للصهيونية منذ تأليفها إلى موسيقى الملحن اليهودي إسحاق ناثان في عام 1815، إلا أن هناك آثارا لأصول مسيحية و إسلامية بجانب العهد القديم التي بدا أن بايرون يقلدها في أغانيه صهيون تنبع بعض كلمات بايرون من مصادر توراتية، و البعض الآخر ليس كذلك شخصياته.

مستمدة من كل من العهدين القديم و الجديد، و الجو الذي يقدمه منطقي و عملي، كما لاحظ العديد من علماء بايرون، مشتق من "بلاد الشام الإسلامي" التي سعى للخلاص منها بعد فشل علاقته.

الكالفينية المخلصة أنابيلا.

تهتم هذه الورقة بالتحقيق النصي في أغاني بايرون اليهودية، في محاولة للعثور على أدلة على خطابهم متعدد الأديان إلى جانب خلفيته اليهودية

English Abstract

Although many Jewish readers and commentators have recognized Byron's Hebrew Melodies as pro-Zionist songs since their composition to the music of the Jewish composer, Isaac Nathan in 1815, there are traces of Christian and Islamic origins beside the Old Testament that Byron seemed to imitate in his Songs of Zion.

Some of Byron's lyrics stem from Biblical sources, others are not.

His characters are derived from both the Old and New Testaments, and the atmosphere that he presents is sensibly and pragmatically, as many of Byron's scholars have noticed, derivative from the 'Islamic Levant' which he sought for salvation after the failure of his relationship with his Calvinist devoted wife Annabella.

This paper is concerned with a textual investigation of Byron's Judaic Songs, attempting to find evidences of their multi-religious discourse beside its Judaic background.
