On the Song of Songs (Volume 244) (Cistercian Studies Series)

Gregory the Great (+604) was a master of the art of exegesis. His interpretations are theologically profound, methodologically fascinating, and historically influential.Â Nowhere is this more clearly seen than in his exegesis of the Song of Songs. Gregoryâ€™s interpretation of this popular Old Testament book not only owes much to Christian exegetes who preceded him, such as Origen, but also profoundly influenced later Western Latin exegetes, such as Bernard of Clairvaux.
This volume includes all that Gregory had to say on the Song of Songs: his Exposition on the Song of Songs, the florilegia compiled by Paterius (Gregoryâ€™s secretary) and the Venerable Bede, and, finally, William of Saint Thierryâ€™s Excerpts from the Books of Blessed Gregory on the Song of Songs. It is now the key resource for reading and studying Gregoryâ€™s interpretation of the Song of Songs.
