When Richard Norris died in 2005, many of us in the field of patristics and late antique Christianity wondered if the translation of Gregory of Nyssa’s Homilies on the Song of Songs he was known to be working on would see the light of day. At long last it has appeared, thanks to the meticulous work of a team of editors who oversaw the turning of Norris’s manuscript into a finished book (see vii–viii for their various contributions). The result, a bilingual edition with an extensive introduction, is a worthy epitaph to such a distinguished career.
Gregory of Nyssa’s fifteen homilies on the Song of Songs, covering Song 1:1–6:8, havelong been considered, along with his Life of Moses, a classic example of early Christian allegorical exegesis as well as the mature expression of Gregory’s spiritual or mystical doctrine.
