 Bible Summary - THE SONG OF SOLOMON
The book claims Solomon as its author, and in view of the fact that he is known to have composed 1,005 "songs" (1 Ki 4:32) there is no reason why he could not have written "the song of songs, which is Solomon's" (Song 1:1).

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canticle of Canticles
In the allegorical interpretation of the song, it makes no essential difference whether the bride is taken as a symbol of the Synagogue, that is, of the congregation of the Old Covenant or of the Church of God of the New Covenant.
In the song the bride is not reproached with sins and guilt but, on the contrary, her good qualities and beauty receive high praise; consequently, the chosen community of God appears here under that form which is according to the Apostle, without spot or blemish (Ephesians 5:27).
In Solomon's song the bride, in reality, does not appear as a queen and does not swing a sword; the other traces of similarity are of so general a character that they probably belong to the wedding festivities of many nations.
