The Outlines Of A New Commentary On Solomon's Song: Drawn By The Help Of Instructions From The East (1768)

The Outlines of a New Commentary on Solomon's Song: Drawn by the Help of Instructions from the East is a book written by Thomas Harmer and published in 1768. The book is a commentary on the biblical book of Song of Solomon, also known as Song of Songs, which is a collection of love poems between a man and a woman. Harmer's commentary is unique in that it draws on insights and interpretations from the East, particularly from Arabic and Persian literature. He argues that the Song of Solomon was likely influenced by these Eastern traditions, and that understanding these influences is key to understanding the meaning of the biblical text. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the Song of Solomon. Harmer provides detailed analysis of the language, imagery, and themes of the book, and offers his own interpretations of its meaning. He also includes excerpts from Arabic and Persian poetry that he believes are relevant to understanding the Song of Solomon. Overall, The Outlines of a New Commentary on Solomon's Song is a scholarly work that offers a fresh perspective on a well-known biblical text. It is a valuable resource for scholars of biblical studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and interpretation of the Song of Solomon.Containing Remarks, On Its General Nature; Observations, On Detached Places Of It; Queries, Concerning The Rest Of This Poem.
