"He remembered that they were but flesh, a breath that passes and does not return" (Ps 78, 39)

The Theme of Memory and Forgetting in the Third Book of the Psalter (Pss 73-89)

af Marco Pavan

The opus offers a lexicography of zkr and skh and an analysis of their function in Book III of the Psalter (Pss 73-89) and in Ps 78. The Psalter is analysed on a canonical perspective; the Ps 78 is considered mainly from an intertextual point of view. For its readers the Psalter turns out to be a book about remembrance and for remembrance.
