Dr. Dahesh is probably the first writer who rendered in his own style the Lamentations of Jeremiah in the city of Jerusalem after its ruin in the sixth century and the diaspora of its people. His version of the Lamentations stands out for its smoothely running expressions, and profusion of novel imagery which leave a deep impression. No doubt, the comparison between the old and new lamentations is an interesting topic for study.
The question remains: why did Dr. Dahesh recast these Lamentations? One wonders whether he wanted to stress divine justice which he believes in and preaches, or perhaps he had a further purpose—one related to the country which persecuted him.
