Mlokhim-Bukh
The Mlokhim-Bukh (English: Book of Kings) is a
Babylonian Captivity. The oldest surviving fragment is dated to 1519–1525, though the poem is probably older. Its stanzaic form resembles that of the Nibelungenlied
.
The poem fuses Biblical material,
The Song of Roland. However, in contrast to the more chivalry-themed Shmuel-Bukh, it is more ethical and historical in nature.[1]
