Variations on The Song of Solomon

Summary/Abstract: The Song of Solomon—the text revealed by the Judaic canon—is still, after many centuries of ex-egesis, a mysterious text, both fascinating and resistant to conclusive hermeneutics. The following lines are the result of an attempt to order the outline of an interpretation of The Song of Solomon. The procedure does not imply commenting directly on The Song of Solomon, but presenting and discussing a couple of commentaries and general refl ections on the sacred text. These two texts feature contrastive complementarily and are unknown to the Romanian readers. The fi rst text—an unpublished manuscript written in 2007—was initially a series of six sermons held at the Catholic International Seminary Herzogliches Georgianum in München by Ludwig Mödl—a theologian and a priest—for the celibatarian priests and for the seminarians. The second text is to be found in Christos Yannaras’ Scholio sto Asma Asmaton (Athens, 1990) and comes from an Orthodox theolo-gian who wrote a lot about love.
