The Role of the Solar and Lunar Calendars in the Redaction of the Psalms

This book is an innovative, thought-provoking contribution to the issue of the annual calendars used in Israel during the biblical period, and particularly during the Second Temple period. This issue is the focus of the discussion in this book, specifically in relation to the editing of the Book of Psalms. He demonstrates how the rationale of the lunar calendar underlies the editing of the collection in the Masoretic version of the Psalter, whereas the editing of the Qumranic version is influenced by the solar calendar.
