The Song of Solomon (Hebrew שיר השירים, shìr hasshirìm, Cantico sublime; Greek ᾎσμα ᾈσμάτων, ásma asmáton; Latin Canticum Canticorum) is a text contained in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

Attributed to King Solomon, famous for his wisdom, his songs and also for his loves, the Song of Songs was composed no earlier than the fourth century BC and is one of the last texts accepted into the canon of the Bible, about a century after the birth of Christ, according to Jewish tradition with the rabbinical synod of Jamnia. It consists of eight chapters containing love poems in dialogic form between a man (Solomon) and a woman (Sulammite).
