These twelfth-century commentaries on the liturgical readings for the Feast of the Assumption are the earliest complete Marian interpretations of the Song of Songs. |

"Honorius's Seal of [the] Blessed Mary is a text as pithy as it is
path-breaking. Written around 1100, it is the first Song of Songs commentary to systematically interpret the Bride as the Virgin Mary. From this modest seed sprang all the luxuriant foliage of eroticism that medieval piety would soon hang upon the Mother's relationship with her Son." - Barbara Newman, Northwestern University |
