In this study, David Willgren attempts to provide answers to two fundamental questions in relation to the formation of the `Book' of Psalms: "how?" and "why?". The first relates to the diachronic growth of the collection (how are these processes to be reconstructed, and on what grounds?), while the second relates to questions of purpose (to what end are psalms being juxtaposed in a collection?). By conceptualizing the `Book' of Psalms as an anthology, and by inquiring into its poetics by means of paratextuality, David Willgren provides a fresh reconstruction of the formation of the `Book' of Psalms and concludes, in contrast to the canonical approach, that it does not primarily provide a literary context for individual psalms. Rather, it preserves a dynamic selection of psalms that is best seen not as a book of psalms, but as a canon of psalms.

Gr.-8°, Brosch. XVII, 491 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // David Willgren sucht in dieser Studie Antworten auf zwei grundsätzliche Fragen, die sich in Bezug auf die Entstehung des `Buchs` der Psalmen stellen: »Wie?« und »Warum?«. Die erste bezieht sich auf das diachrone Wachstum der Sammlung (Wie und auf welcher Basis können diese Prozesse rekonstruiert werden?), während die zweite auf die Frage der Absicht zielt (Zu welchem Zweck werden Psalmen in einer Sammlung nebeneinandergestellt?). Indem er das `Buch` der Psalmen als Anthologie versteht und dessen Poetik paratextuell untersucht, liefert David Willgren eine Rekonstruktion der Entstehung des `Buchs` der Psalmen und schließt, im Gegensatz zum kanonischen Ansatz, daraus, dass es nicht vorrangig den literarischen Kontext für einzelne Psalmen bietet. Stattdessen enthält es eine dynamische Auswahl an Psalmen, die am besten nicht als Buch der Psalmen, sondern als Kanon der Psalmen gesehen werden sollte.
