		The Syriac manuscript of the odes is of paper probably three or four hundred years old, containing the "Psalms of Solomon", the odes (incomplete in the beginning and the end), coarsely written, pointed here and there in the Nestorian manner, and at times with the Jacobite vowels.

		It has also been suggested that the triple allusion to the 'high,' 'middle,' and 'low' of the baptismal portion of the hymn is directly related to Christ's struggle with Satan, in which he scattered the enemies (in the air), overthrew the dragon (on earth), and destroyed the seed (in the underworld).
		Ode 24 refers to the Baptism of Christ and the terror it inspired in the Underworld.
		It could be that the Descent in the Odes refers not to an actual Decent into the Underworld, but as a symbolic interpretation of the Incarnate Christ descending to earth, which is identified as Sheol.

	Odes of Solomon
		The long-lost Odes of Solomon were discovered by J. Rendel Harris in 1909 among a pile of old Syriac manuscripts which had been brought to England from the Middle East and tossed onto shelves in a corner of his office.
		In Ode 7, sometimes referred to as an "incarnational Ode," the face of this Son is figuratively present, for the poet introduces the idea that God, in sending his knowledge to the world, assumes a likeness to humanity.
		The poet in Odes 35 and 37 describes this same gesture (only the latter is in the context of prayer), but both are clearly directed toward God the Father, and neither speaks of the symbolism of a tree or cross.

	King Solomon - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		The name given by God to Solomon in the Bible is Jedidiah, meaning "loved by God", (2 Samuel 12:25), and some scholars have conjectured that Solomon is a "king name" taken either when he assumed the throne or upon his death.
		Solomon also constructed great works for the purpose of securing a plentiful supply of water for the city, Millo (Septuagint, Acra) for the defence of the city, and Tadmor in the wilderness as a commercial depot as well as a military outpost.

	Descensus ad Inferos (Part 7): Odes of Solomon
		The Odes of Solomon is a collection of hymns believed to have been written in Syriac-Aramaic around the time of the Gospel of John (sometime before 125 CE), given its parallels with the Johannine tradition.
		Recent studies have linked the Odes to the secessionists mentioned in 1 John, thus associating the author of the text with an offshoot branch of Johannine Christianity around the beginning of the second century.

	Odes of Solomon Bill Swetmon Freed-Hardeman University
		If the Odes of Solomon can be salvaged for support of instruments then they fly in the face of the universal testimony of the church "Fathers" in identifying the spiritual instruments in a spiritual way, and condemning literal instruments as the "mind altering" weapons of the pagan religions.
		Solomon's prayer that God "teach him the psalms" is parallel with his statement: "open the harp of thy Holy Spirit." The result of opening the Word--the harp or sword of the Spirit--would be that with those "very notes" he could praise God.
		Solomon used the image of Enoch and other apocalyptic writers to show that in order to deceive the faithful, Satan was forced to "turn himself into another man" through apparitions or other means of deceit.

	Solomon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solomon is described as surrounding himself with all the luxuries and the external grandeur of an Eastern monarch, and his government prospered.
		Solomon's apparent initial devotion to Yahweh appearing in for example his dedication prayer (1 Kings 8:14-66) are seen by textual scholars as a product of a much later writer, Solomon being credited with the views only after Jerusalem had actually become the religious centre of the kingdom (rather than, for example, Shiloh, or Bethel).
		To Solomon are attributed, by rabbinical tradition, the Wisdom of Solomon (Ecclesiasticus), probably written in the 2nd century BCE where Solomon is portrayed as an astronomer, and other books of wisdom poetry such as the Odes of Solomon and the Psalms of Solomon.

	Meridian Magazine :: Poetry : Psalmist of the New Testament
		When Harris published the first English translation of the Odes in 1909, great controversy ensued regarding their origin, dating and authorship. Harris himself stated: “There does not seem to be anything about which everyone seems agreed unless it be that the Odes are of singular beauty and high spiritual value.”
		But beyond this statement, the Odes are utterly lacking in historical allusion, and the reference in their title to Solomon is most certainly not authentic. A literary convention common to most works of the Pseudepigrapha, the composer of the Odes attributed his poems to Solomon in order to vest them with greater weight and authority.
		The tone of the Odes is one of high exaltation, in flavor like the Davidic Psalms, but I find the poetic technique in some of them even more compelling than that found in the Psalms. There is unrivaled genius in the compression and vividness of the line ― My heart was cloven and its flower appeared.

	The Odes and Psalms of Solomon by J. Rendel Harris M.A.
		The Odes and Psalms of Solomon is an important addition to our knowledge of the literature which immediately anticipates or directly follows the time of Christ.
		The Odes are marked by a vigor and exaltation of spiritual life, and a mystical insight, to which we can only find parallels in the most illuminated periods of the history of the Church.
		The portions of the Odes which have been transcribed by the author of the Pistis Sophia towards the end of the third century, are evidently taken from a book which was either canonical or not very far removed from canonicity ; so that it is easy to carry the Odes back into the second century.

		Their attribution to Solomon was not an attempt to deceive people (as is the case with some pseudepigrapha) but was the consequence of the Church's recognition that these edifying songs were written by an inspired musician much like the noted Solomon.
