Literary life among Christian Spain's Jews both extended the heritage of Muslim al-Andalus and absorbed of influences from Europe beyond the Pyrenees. An example is the Hebrew poetry of Todros ben Judah Abulafia (d. 1306), which carried on the Andalusi tradition while trying out new styles inspired by Christian Europe's troubadour verse.
