Solomon de Oliveyra (Hebrew: שלמה דֵי אוליוֵירה, romanized: Shelomoh dey Oliveyra, Portuguese: Selomoh de Oliveyra; c. 1633 – 23 May 1708) was a Dutch rabbi, poet, and philologist. He has been described as the "preeminent and omnipresent Hebrew poet of Jewish Amsterdam" in the late seventeenth century.[1]
As early as 1652 Oliveyra published a Portuguese translation of the Canon of Avicenna, which was used by Sousa in his Vestigios de Lingua Arabica em Portugal (Lisbon, 1798, 1830). Even as a youth, however, he devoted himself mostly to Hebrew poetry, writing occasional and liturgical poems, generally in imitation of older piyyutim. These poems are found in the author's Hebrew rhyming dictionarySharshot gavlut (Amsterdam, 1665), which was published together with his Ayyelet ahavim, a Hebrew textbook on rhetoric with exercises (Amsterdam 1665; Vienna, 1818). In addition, some two dozen Hebrew poems on tombstones at the Beth Haim Cemetery at Ouderkerk aan de Amstel are ascribed to Oliveyra.[4]
He died on 23 May 1708, leaving in manuscript a collection entitled Peraḥ shoshan, containing various treatises on the fine arts, grammar and logic, the virtues, the festivals, the calendar, and other topics.
