B. Childs, Introduction to the Old Testament as Scripture (Philadelphia: Fortress, 1979), pp. 545-59. As early as 1794, Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason gives such a reason for doubting the Solomonic authorship of Proverbs and critiquing the work’s “keenness” ([New York: Willey Book Company, 1900], p. 24). Eichhorn attributed the anthological nature of Proverbs – like the collection of Psalms, Isaiah, or Daniel – to uniquely ancient practices of text production and preservation: “The golden proverbs of Solomon were from time to time increased by contributions” (J.G. Eichhorn, Introduction to the Study of the Old Testament [trans. G.T. Gollop; London: privately printed, 1888], p. 50).

With respect to first person frames, he explains, “The first person lines provide a rhetorical foregrounding that represents a personal excitement for past events … [to] move the audience.” See M. Smith, Poetic Heroes: Literary Commemorations of Warriors and Warrior Culture in the Early Biblical World (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2014), pp. 259-60.

 See Pausanias, Description of Greece 9.31.4-5. This second century catalogue of Hesiod’s compositions first speaks of how the Boeotians (unlike other groups) only attribute Works and Days to Hesiod, nothing else, even taking from Hesiod the introductory frame to the Muses. The catalogue then relates parts of Hesiod’s biography to the attribution of other works to him, for example, “These latter [epic poems] also say that Hesiod was taught the mantic art by the Acharnians; and in fact there is a poem on soothsaying.”
