There is a vast Solomon mythology in Palestine, Abyssinia, Arabia, Persia, India, and Europe, the myths and legends concerning the traditional Wisest Man are various, and merit a comparative study they have not received. As the name Solomon seems to be allegorical, it is not possible to discover whether he is mentioned in any contemporary inscription by a real name, and the external and historical data are insufficient to prove certainly that an individual Solomon ever existed.1 But that a great personality now known under that name did exist, about three thousand years ago, will, I believe, be recognised by those who study the ancient literature relating to him. The earliest and most useful documents for such an investigation are the first collection of Proverbs, x–xxii. 16; the second collection, xxv–xxix. 27; Psalms ii., xlv., lxxii., evidently Solomonic; 2 Samuel xii. 24, 25; and 1 Kings iv. 29–34. As, however, the object of this essay is not to prove the existence of Solomon, but to study the evolution of the human heart and mind under influences of which a peculiar series is historically associated with his name, he will be spoken of as a genuine figure, the reader being left to form his own conclusion as to whether he was such, if that incidental point interests him.
Solomon and Solomonic Literature Moncure Daniel Conway Books
Solomon had to be one of the most interesting and important persona in the Bible. I am not particularly religious, but I've found that the writings of his are not only interesting, but inspirational.There is some really beautiful prose presented in this volume of books accredited to Solomon.
You don't have to be religious to enjoy this book.
If you like poetry, you will also enjoy the writing.

Solomon and Solomonic Literature Moncure Daniel Conway Books Reviews
I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHINK ABOUT THE SOLOMONIC
This is an excellent book where almost all references to Solomon and writing attributed to him have been gathered and examined. Great foundation book for further study of the western occult tradition as well as some of the religious practices of the western world
excellent
As expected
