Piyyut
A piyyut or piyut (plural piyyutim or piyutim, Hebrew: ??????????? / ??????, ???????? / ???? pronounced [pi?jut, piju?tim] is a Jewish liturgical poem, usually designated to be sung, chanted, or recited during religious services. Piyyutim have been written since Temple times. Most piyyutim are in Hebrew or Aramaic, and most follow some poetic scheme, such as an acrostic following the order of the Hebrew alphabet or spelling out the name of the author.
The following list contains:
1. Those paytanim and pre-modern poets who have individual entries in the Encyclopaedia Judaica – included are those who are either primarily paytanim or famous as such;
2. Paytanim and pre-modern poets who do not have individual entries and who are not included in (1) Davidson's O?ar ha-Shirah ve-ha-Piyyut (vol. 4, pp. 347) which was completed in 1933 (Davidson's additions were published in HUCA 12–13, 1937–38);
3. Paytanim and pre-modern poets who are in Davidson but on whom new material has been made available in the intervening years.
