Solomon, Odes of

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Solomon, Odes of. This pseudepigraphical work contains 42 hymns of a lyrical character. They are probably Christian in origin. Their composition is variously dated between the 1st and 3rd cent., the late 2nd cent. being most likely. They were probably written in Syria, but whether their original language was Greek or Syriac is disputed.

Solomon, Odes of

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | | Copyright

Solomon, Odes of. A collection of forty-two short hymns in Syriac linked in manuscripts to the Psalms. Their date must be earlier than the time of Lactantius (3rd–4th cents.) who quotes them, but their unorthodox imagery and indirect reference to Christ make them difficult to place.
