The Five Scrolls -- Ruth -- Esther -- Ecclesiastes -- The Song of Songs -- Lamentations.

The five Old Testament book 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.
