| Summary: | Origen's majestic exposition of the Song of Songs—laconically dated here to ad 240—was to exercise greater influence than his Homilies and eclipsed his earlier commentary, which had run to a mere two books. For all that, only four of its ten books survive, and only in the Latin of Rufinus, which, by breaking off at the fifteenth verse of the second chapter, takes us one verse further in the biblical text than Jerome's abortive rendering of the Homilies. All that remains of the other books is catenae, of which the one ascribed to Procopius of Gaza is the most fertile, though another eight, in addition to a handful of other sources, are consulted in this learned, judicious, and handsome collection of some eighty-eight fragments. |
