Original publisher?s illustrated tooled black cloth. Gilt text on spine. Pasted and free illustrated yellow endpapers. , A beautifully illustrated edition of ?The Song of Songs? from the early 20th century. The Song of Songs is one of the "scrolls" of the Writings, the last section of the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible. It is also the fifth book of Wisdom in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Scripturally, the Song of Songs is unique in its celebration of sexual love. It gives "the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy". The two each desire the other and rejoice in their sexual intimacy. The "daughters of Jerusalem" form a chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader. In modern Judaism, the Song of Songs is read on the Sabbath during the Passover, which marks the beginning of the grain harvest as well as commemorating the Exodus from Egypt., Size : 8vo (256x158mm). , With dense and ornate illustrated margins, numerous illustrations and ornate woodblock initials ? all illuminated in gold by hand - by Valenti Angelo.
