Item Description: | "On the song of songs only survives in fragmentary ancient translations, a few patristic quotations, and one seventh-century Greek epitome. This book presents the first translation in English of the Georgian text, the most complete version of On the song of songs. It also presents the first English translation of the Greek epitome and the surviving fragments in Paleo-Slavic. The fragmentary Greek, Latin, and Syriac quotations of the commentary have been previously translated into Latin and English, but I have translated them and gathered them here for the reader's convenience". - Includes bibliographical references (pages 563-602) and index. - In English and Georgian
