Abstract

In this essay, I first explore some of the main characteristics of the medieval reading and writing traditions of the biblical Song of Songs. The rewriting of the Song of Songs in the mystical texts of Richard Rolle (c. 1300-1349) leads us to conclude that the Song was one of the most important texts in the exploration of subjectivity and love of his medieval readers, thus joining the hermeneutical traditions of both Jewish and Christian readers and exegetes.
