Abstract
This essay examines a 16th-century classic of Spanish humanist apologetics: the extant portion of fray Luis de Ledn 's defense of his Spanish translation of the Song of Songs against the Inquisition. The analysis highlights a Christian hebraist's contribution to contemporary debates on the applicability of humanist philology to biblical scholarship. An English translation of fray Luis’ famous respuesta accompanies the article.
