	Song of Solomon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Song of Solomon is also the title of a novel by Toni Morrison.
		The name of the book comes from the first verse, "The Song of songs, which is of (or for) Solomon." Some believe the title "song of songs" attests to the greatness of the book.
		For the whole world is not worth the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel, for all the Writings are holy and the Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies.

	Song - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The words of songs are typically of a poetic, rhyming nature, although they may be religious verses or free prose.
		Art songs are songs created for performance in their own right, or for the purposes of a European upper class, usually with piano accompaniment, although they can also have other types of accompaniment such as an orchestra or string quartet, and are always notated.
		The German word for song, "Lied" (plural: "Lieder"), is used in French and English-speaking communities to refer to the serious art song, whereas in German-speaking communities the word "Kunstlied" (plural: "Kunstlieder") is used to distinguish art song from folk song ("Volkslied").

		The oldest known interpretation of the Song (induced by the demand for an ethical and religious element in its content) is allegorical: the Midrash and the Targum represent it as depicting the relations between God and Israel.
		The Song is now taken, almost universally, to be the celebration of a marriage, there being, in fact, no hint of allegory in the text.
		The date of the Song is indicated by its literary form: the idyl is foreign to the Hebrew genius, and points to the time when the Jews imitated Greek models (Theocritus and Bion).

	Song of Solomon, Song of Songs
		For the Song's original audience, her reference to the king's numerous female admirers might conjure the image of a harem, and—even before mention is made of Solomon's tapestries—those who were familiar with Solomon's reputation as a great lover might guess that he is the noble king in question.
		As the author of the Song pleads the case for her protagonists in the "court of love," she is also pleading for open recognition of the marital partnership of the god and goddess—Yahweh and Asherah—as two aspects of the Source of life.
		All quotations of the Song of Songs are from the

		It should be borne in mind that the Song of Songs was already esteemed by the Jews as a sacred book, though prior to the Synod of Jamnia there was probably a goodly number of Jewish teachers who did not accept it as canonical.
		The latest date for the composition of the Song of Songs, according to critics of the advanced school, is toward the close of the 3rd century BC.
		Few interpreters have been found to follow Theodore of Mopsuestia and Lowth in their view that the Song celebrates the marriage of Solomon and an Egyptian princess; and Lowth's notion of a reference to the espousal of a church chosen from among the Gentiles is one of the curiosities of criticism.

	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 (Eph., v, 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.
