Allard, Hermann Jozef Petrus Hugo De complete werken van Joost van Vondel. De Heerlijkheid van Salomon Produced by Frank van Drogen and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "De complete werken van Joost van Vondel. De Heerlijkheid van Salomon" by Vondel is a poetic work written in the early 17th century. This piece explores the grandeur and wisdom of King Solomon, intertwining themes of divine grace, earthly power, and moral teachings through a rich tapestry of verse. The poem portrays the majestic reign of Solomon and reflects on his relationship with God, wisdom, and the importance of virtue in rulership. At the start of the poem, the translator introduces the reader to the concept that greatness, exemplified by Solomon, is fleeting and ultimately subordinate to the divine kingdom ruled by Christ. The opening portion emphasizes the wisdom and preparations that King David imparts to Solomon, encouraging him to aspire toward the perfection necessary for governance. Additionally, it hints at the significance of Solomon's marriage to the Egyptian princess, illustrating not just a political alliance but a deeper theological exploration of relationships between divinity and humanity. The translator's reverence for Vondel's poetic endeavor is evident, as he candidly discusses his trepidations about tackling such a profound subject. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
