Abstract

The purpose of this article is to put forth a proposal regarding at which date the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes )???? in its Hebrew form) was written, who its author was and at which place it was written. Such themes have always been shrouded in fierce discussions in the academic world connected to Biblical research. In each of the items we propose to touch upon, and the respective questions we intend to answer, we shall start by critically reviewing the proposals that have been made by the main researchers of such themes, at different times and places. Afterwards, based on them, we shall put forth a proposal regarding the three themes we deal with in this article: the date, the author and the place of the Book of Ecclesiastes. Our conclusion is that, given the fact that the Book Qohélet was written around the year of 250 B.C., it could not have been authored by Solomon, but by someone who lived in Northern Palestine, at the linguistic border with the Aramaic.
