These eight chapter and two hundred verses reflect on the Song of Songs, portraying the Church's yearning for Christ's love and the reconciliation between humanity and God. It interprets the kiss as a symbol of peace restored through Christ, the "breasts" as spiritual nourishment from the apostles' teachings, and the "name as oil" as the anointing of the Holy Spirit poured upon believers. The text highlights the divine drawing of believers to Christ, the Church's entrance into the mysteries of God's grace, and the joy found in spiritual sustenance. Scriptural references from Isaiah, Luke, Psalms, Matthew, and Corinthians support these allegorical insights into Christian doctrine and faith.
