[Bob MacDonald <bobmacdonald AT shaw.ca>]

In the beginning of this book, I see the phrase translated as The Song of
Songs. Does the prefix apply a definite article to the whole phrase or just
to the 'songs'? Could it be read as A song of the songs? - i.e. implying
there were other songs in the cited group.

 

thanks

 

Bob
