Sefer Rinat Dodim, commentary on Shir HaShirim, by R. Eliyahu ben R. Moshe Luantz. Basel: Konrad Waldkirch, [1600].
Rabbi Eliyahu Ba'al Shem of Luantz (1565-1636) studied in the yeshiva of the Maharal of Prague, and was involved in the study of Kabbalah and the writing of amulets. He arrived in Basel after leaving his community in Frankfurt am Main, and published this book because "when something is written in a book, it is as if it has been spoken to thousands and myriads" (from the title page). Page 18b contains illustrations of human faces to construe Shir Hashirim 4:9.
