Second Temple Songs of Zion: A Literary and Generic Analysis of the Apostrophe to Zion (11qpsa XXII 1-15); Tobit 13:9-18 and 1 Baruch 4:30-5:9

by Ruth Henderson

Although in Second Temple literature we find a variety of songs concerned with the future of Jerusalem, little attempt has been made to analyse these comparatively as a generic group. In this study, three songs have been selected on the basis of their similarity in style, ideas and their apparent original composition in Hebrew. The texts have been subjected to a literary analysis both individually and then comparatively.
