I28-R145-8368_oai2025-11-17 Narvaja, José Luis 2019-11-01 The biblical book, Canticle of Canticles, is a nuptial poem written in the form of a ‘drama’. This brief description of its form and content brings two difficulties to our attention: the spiritual interpretation of a text, which taken literally, refers to human love and the attribution of the words of the text to the characters, since the biblical text does not inform us who is speaking at each moment. Gregory of Nyssa, following Origen, wrote a series of homilies on the Canticle of Canticles where he had to confront such problems. His answer is moreover settled by the polemical context represented by the figure of Eunomius of Cyzicus, an Arian bishop of the second generation. El libro bíblico del Cantar de los cantares es un poema nupcial escrito en forma ‘dramática’. Esta breve descripción de su forma y su contenido ofrece, desde el comienzo, dos dificultades: la interpretación espiritual de un texto que, según la letra, se refiere al amor humano y la adjudicación de las palabras del texto a los personajes, pues el texto bíblico no nos indica quién está hablando en cada momento. Gregorio de Nisa, siguiendo los pasos de Orígenes, escribió una serie de homilías al Cantar de los cantares donde debe resolver dichos problemas. Su respuesta se ve determinada, además, por el contexto polémico representado por la figura de Eunomio de Cízico, obispo arriano de la segunda generación. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/8368 10.34096/afc.i32.8368 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/afc/article/view/8368/7368 Anales de Filología Clásica; Vol. 2 Núm. 32 (2019); 37-45 2362-4841 0325-1721 Canticle of Canticles Patristic exegesis Origen Gregory of Nyssa Eunomius of Cyzicus Cantar de los cantares exégesis patrística Orígenes Gregorio de Nisa Eunomio de Cízico “O that he would kiss me with the kisses of his mouth”: Problems of interpretation at the beginning of the Canticle of Canticles “Que me bese con los besos de su boca”: problemas interpretativos del comienzo del Cantar de los cantares info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=anafilog&d=8368_oai |
