Best Answer
A:The Song of Solomon, or Song of Songs, is a sensual, almost pornographic tale of a black woman reminiscing about her liaison with a man traditionally thought to have been Solomon. Written from a female perspective, it of course could not have been written by Solomon himself, but is traditionally attributed to one of his lovers.

Scholars say that it appears to have been part of an operetta, probably written soon after the Babylonian Exile. The author is unknown.

A:The writer is Solomon himself.

Although this poem, also known as Song of Solomon, is attributed to Solomon, the language and style indicate that it was written after the end of the Babylonian Exile. It tells the sexual experiences and thoughts of a dark woman, but seems to have no real historical or religious significance.
Rabbi Akiva, a fierce conservative who held that every dot or comma of a sacred text had meaning of its own, saved the Song of Songs for The Bible holding that it was the holiest of all the scriptures, but forbade its singing in beerhalls. It has been suggested that the Song of Songs was originally a libretto.

King Solomon wrote the Song of Songs shortly after he became king in 836 BCE. (Non-traditional chronology would place this at an earlier time.)

Significance of the Song of Songs:

According to our tradition (and Rashi commentary), the Song of Songs, unlike all other Hebrew Bible books, has no simple meaning and is to be explained, read and understood only as an allegory. It hints to the love between God and His people, in the poetic form of a young couple.

All other Tanakh books have their plain translation, which is valuable in itself, plus deeper meanings. The Song of Songs is the only exception.See also:
