In addition to a comprehensive introduction and an analysis of text and form, Othmar Keel focuses on the metaphorical and symbolic language of the Song of Songs. He makes full use of parallels-textual and iconographic-from Palestine, Egypt, and Mesopotamia. More than 160 illustrations, prepared by Hildi Keel-Leu, add to the interpretation of the songs.

This review is from: The Song of Songs [Song of Solomon] (Continental Commentary Series) (Hardcover)
I have used this commentary extensively and I really like the reliefs and references to the Egyptian love poetry. I recommend this commentary.
