| Summary: | An example of the relevance of the LXX is given in this article by Evangelia G. Dafni, Associate Professoratthe Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Faculty of Theology, and Research Associate at the Department of Old Testament and Hebrew Scriptures, Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Pretoria, South Africa. The extensive use ofa highly reflective love-lyrical idiolect in the LXX Song of Songs, while borrowing largely from the translation language of the older books of the Hebrew Bible, also employs newly formed linguistic imagery to denote newassociative contexts of human love. In addition to its intertextual and ideological-theological relationship to the oldest books ofthe Hebrew and Greek Bible, it has linguistic and thematic similarities with the Idylls of Theocritus and in particular with the disputed Idyll XXVII. The comparison of LXX Song of Songs, Genesis 1-3 and the theocritean bucolic poetry enables the eschatological interpretation ofthe book and provides the basis for a better understanding of its allegorization in ancient Judaism and early Christianity. |
