Shir ha-Shirim Rabbah

Shir ha-Shirim Rabbah (Hebrew: שיר השירים רבה) is a Haggadic midrash on Song of Songs, quoted by Rashi under the title "Midrash Shir ha-Shirim" (commentary on Cant. iv. 1, viii. 11). It is called also Agadat Ḥazita, from its initial word "Ḥazita" (Nathan ben Jehiel, in the Aruk, s.v. טפף), or Midrash Ḥazita (Naḥmanides, commentary on Ex. iv. 28; Simon Duran, Tashbaẓ, part iii., No. 37).

Origins

Simon Duran, in quoting this midrash, says that it is a Judean haggadic collection (ib.). The sources which it uses directly are from the Jerusalem Talmud. No direct borrowing from the Babylonian Talmud appears, and, although it contains many interpretations and comments found in this source, most of them vary greatly in form, the agreement being confined to their contents. This agreement, moreover, may be explained on the ground that the comments and interpretations in question are very old, and were included both in the Babylonian Talmud and in the Palestinian sources used by the redactor of the Shir ha-Shirim midrash (see below; comp. also Theodar, Zur Composition der Agadischen Homilien, in Monatsschrift, 1879, p. 343).

Cant (architecture)

Cant or canted in architecture is an angled (oblique) line or surface particularly which cuts off a corner.

Canted facades are a typical of, but not exclusive to, Baroque architecture. The angle breaking the facade is less than a right angle thus enabling a canted facade to be viewed as, and remain, one composition. Bay windows frequently have canted sides.
