Extracanonical Megillot

This is an archive of megillot that are outside the Biblical canon yet prepared for (or special to) days in the Jewish calendar, as well as in civil calendars. The collection includes works derived from works authored in Classical Antiquity (such as Megillat Antiokhus), medieval works for Purim Sheni commemorations (such as Megillat Saragossa), and modern works (such as the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel). Most of these works are explicitly referred to as megillot (lit. scrolls) but there are several maasiyot (tales) and at least one haftarah intended for reading during the Torah reading service on a special day.
