Information
has glosseng: The Shmuel-Bukh is a religious verse epic written in Yiddish. Composed no later than the second half of the 15th century and widely circulated in manuscript, it was first printed in Augsburg in 1544. Its stanzaic form resembles that of the Niebelungenlied, and its hero is the biblical David. Although it was less popular than the roughly contemporary, secular Bovo-Bukh Sol Liptzin characterizes it as the greatest Old Yiddish religious epic. [Liptzin, 1972, 8-9].
