[Hebrew: Perush shir ha-shirim]
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Elisha ben Gabriel Gallico was a 16th-century Safed Kabbalist. His commentary on the Song of Songs (Perush Shir ha-Shirim) is a specialized Hebrew religious text. Extensive searches across major library catalogs (including Library of Congress, scholarly databases, and academic bibliographies like Marvin Heller's works on 16th-century Hebrew books) yielded no evidence of any English translation, complete or partial. Given the nature of the work and the lack of any bibliographic record of an English version, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.
