lEcclesiastes, Song of
Solomon, and Proverbs are generally attributed to the reign of
Solomon, who is purported to be the author of the first two and
a contributor to the third. Some or all of these may have
originally existed in the oral tradition and been written down at
some later date, possibly as late as the post-exilic period.
