The Book of Esther on Authentic Papyrus—Original Text!
The Book of Esther is a part of the Jewish Tanakh, or the Christian Old Testament. In Judaism, it is counted among the five festival scrolls (Megillot) of the Hebrew Bible. From the Book of Esther itself, it only emerges that Ahasuerus was already deceased at the time of its writing. According to Jewish tradition, the book was composed around 400 BCE—certainly a Christian early dating to the time before the fall of the Persian Empire before Alexander the Great (around 330 BCE) is accepted.

Esther Scroll: An Ancient Book
The “book” made of papyrus always came as scrolls in the markets of antiquity. These were usually twenty sheets of papyrus glued together: so-called kollemata. Scrolls were written on the inside of the roll (recto), as the fiber direction of the papyrus runs horizontally there and offers the ancient writing reed (calamus) or the writing pen (penna scriptoria) the least resistance. It was stories like the Esther Scroll that wrote ancient life. Browse the other scrolls in the Roman Shop! You will find German translations with the original texts, such as about Emperor Nero or the eruption of Vesuvius. Classical works are also held in the scrolls in the Roman Shop: you can read Caesar’s "de bello gallico" authentically with your students in the classroom from a Roman scroll. You will also find Qumran vessels for storing the ancient scrolls in the Roman Shop. Have fun browsing!
