| Summary: | The Song of Songs was considered as Sacred Scripture before the Christian Era. The Pharisaic discussion in the 2nd century C.E. as to whether the Canticle "defiles the hands" refers neither to canonicity nor to inspiration; it expresses a doubt as to whether for any reason whatever in the text an exception could be applied to the Song with regard to the general rule that "sacred books defile the hands". The "copy of Esdras" in the Temple was such an exception. The reason for the presence of the Song of Songs in the Canon is not based on its author (Solomon), nor on any allegorical explanation (which is not interpretation but application of the text). The reason for canonicity can be seen in the sapiential character of the Song which shows itself in its literal sense that presents the natural love of a couple in all its amplitude and that by analogy can be referred also to the love of God. |
