The Outlines Of A New Commentary On Solomon's Song by Thomas Harmer presents a critical project to outline an interpretation of Solomon's Song using Eastern instructions and materials. The work is organized into three parts: Remarks on the general nature, I.e., the design and structure of the Song; Observations on detached places, drawing on Eastern love-poems and Greco-Egyptian epithalamia for illustration; and a set of Queries concerning the rest of the poem, inviting future interpreters to refine or revise the proposed outlines. Harmer situates his approach within a spectrum of contemporary East–West exegetical debates, referencing translations and scholars such as Bouffet, Lowth, and Michealis, and arguing for an interpretation that emphasizes nuptial festivities, royal pageantry, and the cultural context of ancient Near Eastern marriages. The Preface and the included remarks explore the Song’s possible references to a Solomonian marriage, its speakers, the procession, and the accompanying feasts, while also offering methodological caveats and a call for continued scholarly dialogue. The work thus serves as a rough sketch of an outline for a broader commentary rather than a definitive line-by-line exposition.
