FUERST, W. J., The Books of Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes, The Song of Songs, Lamentations: The Five Scrolls. Cambridge University Press, 1975. 280p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Bible Commentaries on the Old Testament. The five Old Testament books dealt with in this volume of the Commentary occupied a special place in Hebrew tradition as selected readings for major festivals and were accordingly brought together in Hebrew manuscripts to form a group of five scrolls. The books of The Five Scrolls vary greatly; debate about their holiness and authority is recorded from the second century AD onwards, and they pose many problems of interpretation today.
