Traditionally attributed to King Solomon and revered by Rabbi Akiva as the "Holy of Holies" among sacred Scriptures, the Song of Songs is a captivating and controversial biblical text that significantly influenced European spirituality and culture. It uniquely blends a sensual celebration of love with a rich tradition of Christian allegorical interpretation, appealing to poets of both religious and love poetry during the Middle Ages and early modern period. This investigation offers a systematic exploration of the Song of Songs' multifaceted use in Renaissance love lyric poetry, focusing on Italian, French, and particularly English works. The narrative begins with two chapters on medieval poetry and Petrarch, tracing the Song's role in the evolution of European love lyric from its medieval origins to the late sixteenth century. The study provides a comprehensive view of the Song's impact on this literary tradition, analyzing key works by authors such as Dante, Petrarch, Tasso, Marguerite de Navarre, and Shakespeare, among others. By adopting a comparative approach, the research deepens the understanding of the European love lyric's evolution and situates the Song of Songs within a broader context of literature, philosophy, theology, and cultural history, illuminating the thought and spirit of pivotal eras in shaping European culture.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Traditionally attributed to King Solomon and called by Rabbi Akiva the 'Holy of Holies' among sacred Scriptures (Mishnah, Yadayim 3:5), the Song of Songs is one of the most fascinating and controversial biblical books, and played an essential role in the shaping of European spirituality and culture. Combining in a unique way a sensual and deeply lyrical celebration of love with a well-established tradition of Christian allegorical interpretation, this text, crucial to both the Middle Ages and the early modern period, held a particular appeal for poets devoted not only to religious verse, but also to love poetry. The Song of Songs and Its Tradition in Renaissance Love Lyric is the first systematic and wide-ranging investigation of the multifaceted use of the Song of Songs in Renaissance love lyric poetry, with specific attention to Italian, French, and, especially, English poetic production. At the same time, this investigation is embedded into a narrative that, comprising two initial chapters devoted to medieval poetry and to Francesco Petrarca, represents an unprecedented attempt to trace the role of the Song of Songs in the rise and development of the European love lyric, following its path - or rather, one of its paths - from the medieval origins of this tradition to the end of the sixteenth century. The picture of the general impact of the Song of Songs in the development of the European love lyric is combined with in-depth analysis of key works by specific authors -- including Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca, Torquato Tasso, Marguerite de Navarre, Anne de Marquets, Clément Marot, Richard Barnfield, Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, John Donne, Elizabeth Melville, and Aemilia Lanyer - promoting a contextualization of their significance within a new interpretative framework. While the comparative standpoint characterizing this study fosters a deeper comprehension of the evolution of the European love lyric, its multidisciplinary approach, which considers the Song of Songs as the centre of a web of dynamics pertaining to the fields of literature, philosophy, theology, and religious and cultural history, contributes to the understanding of the thought and spirit of ages crucial to the shaping of European culture.…
