Die Esthernovelle - Vom Erzählten zur Erzählung

vom Erzählten zur Erzählung : Studien zur Traditions- und Redaktionsgeschichte des Estherbuches

Three pagan narratives underlie the Book of Esther. These basic narratives were merged into one story, which expressed the problems of Jewish life in the diaspora. In an attempt to adjust Palestinian Judaism to the Jewish diaspora, the theme of Purim was introduced into the narrative.
