Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge, by R.A. Torrey, [ca. 1880]
This Book, which derives its name from the person whose history it chiefly relates, is termed in Hebrew, מגלה [Strong's H4039] אסתר [Strong's H635], megillath Esther, "the volume of Esther." Concerning its author there are various opinions: some attribute it to Ezra; some to Joachim, the son of Joshua the high priest; others to the men of the great synagogue; and others to Mordecai, which seems the most probable opinion.
