Abstract

GALINDO AYALA, Cossette. Fray Luis de León and the Song of songs: a mystic-erotic paradigm in the judo-christian and the greco-roman traditions. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2017, vol.65, n.2, pp.441-469. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v65i2.3102.

This paper offers a study of fray Luis de León’s Spanish translation of the Song of songs as well as of his Comentario on the same text. It aims to shed light on the mystic-erotic paradigm, which underlies this work, as this paradigm is conceived in both the Judeo-Christian and the Greco-Roman traditions. In addition, attention is paid to questions concerning the interpretation and reception of the biblical text, as outlined in the hermeneutic work of Paul Ricoeur.

Keywords : Fray Luis de León; Song of Songs; mysticism; eroticism; biblical hermeneutics.
