    Este artículo ofrece un análisis literario del prólogo poético a la adaptación de Celestina al hebreo, realizada en Italia por Joseph ben Samuel Tsarfati al principios del siglo xvi. Este prólogo resulta ser el producto de varias tradiciones literarias coexistentes y conocidas en la Roma y en el círculo del autor, al tiempo que sirve para destacar el papel de la literatura secular dentro de la literatura hebrea. El poeta reconcilia y yuxtapone su inspiración literaria, Celestina, tanto con convenciones literarias seculares, como con los usos y las características de la literatura hebrea medieval.
