The Odes of Solomon are a collection of 42 odes attributed to Solomon. There used to be confusion among scholars on the dating of the Odes of Solomon; however, most scholars date it to somewhere between 70-125 AD.[1][2][3] The original language of the Odes is thought to have been either Greek or Syriac, and the majority of scholars believe it to have been written by a Jewish Christian, very likely a convert from the Essene community to Christianity, because it contains multiple similarities to writings found in Qumran and to the Gospel of John.[2][4][5][6][1] Some have argued that the writer had even personally seen John the Baptist [3]
A minority of scholars have suggested a Gnostic origin, but this theory is not widely supported.[7]
