The Song of Songs also known as the Song of Solomon, Canticles, or the Canticle of Canticles, is one of the "scrolls" (megillot) of the Writings (Ketuvim), 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. In Sephardic Jewish tradition, the Song of Songs is read every Friday night for the divine loving union they see in it; Ashkenazim chant it on the Sabbath during Passover, marking the beginning of the grain harvest and commemorating the Exodus from Egypt. 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 "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. Jewish tradition reads it as an allegory of the relationship between God and Israel. Christian tradition, in addition to appreciating the literal meaning of a love song between man and woman, has read the poem as an allegory of Christ and his "bride", the Christian Church.

    Cloth. Condition: Good Only. Edmond Hedouin; Emile Boilvin; Alexandre Bida (illustrator). A scarce limited edition of the Tanakh's 'Song of Song', illustrated with beautiful plates after Alexandre Bida by Edmond Hedouin and Emile Boilvin. A scarce limited edition work. A limited edition, limited to two-hundred and fifty copies, of which this is numbered fifty-eight. Illustrated with a frontispiece, and twenty-four plates. Collated, complete. Back strip defective as usual with this work. 'The Song of Songs' is the last section in the Tanakh, and a book of the Old Testament. The work is unique within the Hebrew Bible, as it does not show interest in Law, Covenant, or the God of Israel. Nor does it try to teach or explore wisdom. The songs celebrate sexual love, with two lovers being in harmony. In Jewish tradition the work is read as an allegory of the relationship between God and Israel, and in Christianity it is an allegory of God and his bride, the Church. Illustrated after designs by Alexandre Bida, a French painter of the Romantic period. Bida is known for his paintings of the Bible, his paintings being highly regarded, bringing a truth and genius to his depiction of Christ that showed him as strong, dignified, and refined. Illustrated by Edmond Hedouin, a French painter and engraver, known for his detailed reproductions of paintings by famous painters. Also illustrated by Emile Boilvin, a French nineteenth century painter.
