This volume comprises an edition and translation of one of the earliest specimens of Jewish programmatic commentary on the book of Esther. The commentary's author, Salmon b. Yerōḥām, is a central early figure in the "Golden Age" of Karaism (late-9th-11th cent.), a Jewish scripturalist and penitential movement centered at that time in Jerusalem.

We also explore his use of sources, both explicit and tacit (in the latter case to a surprisingly broad degree as regards rabbinic sources and Saadia), as well as the reception of Salmon's commentary in subsequent Jewish exegetical tradition.
