He generally connotes the heroic past of the (more imagined than real) ancient Israelite empire and is associated with messianic hopes for the future. Nevertheless, his richly ambivalent and fascinating literary portrayal in the Hebrew Bible is one of the most complex of all biblical characters.    This volume aims at taking a new, critical look at the process of biblical creation and subsequent exegetical transformation of the character of David and his attributed literary composition (the Psalms), with particular emphasis put on the multilateral fertilization and cross-cultural interchanges among Jews, Christians and Muslims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations   Transliteration   Notes on Contributors      The Variety of Davids in Monotheistic Traditions     An Introduction    Marzena Zawanowska      1 David in History and in the Hebrew Bible    Łukasz Niesiołowski-Spanò      part 1: The Images of David in Medieval Jewish, Muslim and Christian Sources   2 David the Pious Musician in Midrashic Literature and Medieval Muslim Sources    Sivan Nir      3 The Weeping King of Muslim Pietistic Tradition     David in the Kitāb al-waraʿ of ʿAbd al-Malik b.
