    Abstract

    Hebrew, but only four survive. The introductions to the songs suggest that the collection contained psalms for each day of the year. The songs mention King David (I, 15) in our opinion as the name of the Lord’s servant (I, 6, 8, 14), which is to be identified with the ‘I’ of the songs (II, 1, 8, 24, etc.). Hence the songs can be called a Jewish pseudepigraphic writing.
