Summary/Abstract: The Odes of Solomon, a collection of Christian prayers from a Syriac or Hebraic environment, are an extremely valuable document, able to portrait the first century theology of Christian communities around Holy Land. Dated around the end of the first century until the middle of the second century A.D., the Odes of Solomon were in the first millennium in the Canon of the Scripture, cited by the Holy Fathers, containing the most important doctrines of the Church and, above all, a beautiful poetry of devotion that is the foundation of mystical theology of the Church of Christ.
