The title of [[Megillah]] was used κατ᾿ ἐξοχήν of the book of Esther, (See [[Book Of Esther]]); and from this it is supposed it was transferred to the others. To the reading of this at the [[Feast]] of [[Purim]] special importance was attached by the [[Jews]] (Talmud, Tr. Megillah, ed. Surenhus. 2:387). (See [[Roll]]). </p> | |||
