Yehudah ha-Levi (aka Judah Halevi, died ca. 1140) is regarded as the best poet who wrote in medieval Hebrew. Some of his poems even entered liturgy.

Here is a set which I prepared quickly, others are welcome to add or improve upon it.

*A collection of his poems in Hebrew, edited by A.A. Garkavi and published in Warsaw in 1893. The djvu has to be read from the end, so go to page 516 and work backwards.

*A translation of some of his poems into German, entitled Divan des Castiliers Abu 'l-Hasan Juda ha-Levi. Quality of this djvu is poor, but I simply had to include it.

*A study of his life and work in Yiddish, published when he was still viewed as unquestionably the best of *all* Hebrew poets. After 1910, the competition intensified, but he is still admired.

Why an apple, you ask. Well, in addition to being a fine religious poet, the man also composed some of the best love and erotic poems of medieval Spain. The poem called "Apple" is easy to find and enjoy.
