The Scroll of Fasts
Sources
A
The Gemara explains:
Rav and Rabbi Ḥanina say
that
Megillat Ta’anit
has been nullified. This is what
the prophet
is saying: At a time when there is peace
in the world, the dates listed
will be
times of
joy and gladness,
on which eulogies and fasting are forbidden; but when
there is no peace,
they are days of
fasting. And those
days mentioned in
Megillat Ta’anit
are also like these
days of fasting, that is to say, the days of joy listed in
Megillat Ta’anit
are also nullified when there is no peace.
Rosh Hashanah 18b:10
The Sages taught
in a
baraita
with regard to
Megillat Ta’anit
, which is a list of days of redemption that were established as celebrations for generations:
Who wrote
Megillat Ta’anit
?
This scroll was written by
Ḥananya ben Ḥizkiya
ben Garon
and his faction, who held dear
the memory of
the troubles
that befell Israel and their salvation from them.
Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: We also hold dear
the memory of
the troubles
from which Israel was saved,
but what can we do? If we came to write
all the days of that kind…
Shabbat 13b:4-5
A private person who committed himself for a fast day, eats and drinks after nightfall. But if he said a public fast day, he eats and drinks only during daytime. If he made a vow to fast and it turned out to fall on Sabbath days or holidays, he is whipped but does not need permission from a Sage. If he made a vow to fast and it turned out to fall on days written in the Scroll of Fasts, Rebbi Ḥizqia and Rebbi Yudan in the name of Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba: One said, he fasts but does not finish, but the other one said, he is whipped but does not need permission from a Sage…
Jerusalem Talmud Nedarim 8:1:7
The Gemara explains: This is
as it is taught in
Megillat Ta’anit
: Whoever has taken upon himself beforehand
to fast on one of these Festival days, he
will be prohibited
to eat and drink.
How so?
With regard to
an individual who took upon himself
to fast on each
Monday, Thursday, and Monday
series
of the entire year, and the
commemorative
holidays
written
in
Megillat Ta’anit
occurred on
these days,
if his vow preceded our decree,
i.e…
Taanit 12a:9
The Mishnah either follows Rebbi Yose on the eleventh or Rebbi Meïr on the twelfth. But it is difficult for Rebbi Meïr. Was it not stated, “on the twelfth of it is Tirion Day?” But Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa said, Tirion Day was disestablished; the day when Julianus and Pappos were killed. “On the thirteenth of it is Nikanor Day.” What is Nikanor Day? “A commander of the Greek government was passing by on his way to Alexandria when he saw Jerusalem, and insulted, vituperated, and blasphemed and said,
when I shall return in peace I shall destroy this tower

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit 2:12:3
The Gemara asks:
What
did the Sages
reply
to refute the argument of the Sadducees? They cited the verse: “Command the children of Israel, and say to them:
My food that is presented to Me for offerings made by fire,
of a pleasing aroma unto Me,
you shall observe [
tishmeru
]
to offer to Me in its due season” (Numbers 28:2). The term: “You shall observe” is in the plural form, which indicates that
all of the
daily offerings
should come from collection of the
Temple treasury
chamber…
Menachot 65a:10-12
§
The Master said
above, in
Megillat Ta’anit
:
From the eighth of
Nisan
until the end of the festival
of Passover,
the festival of
Shavuot
was restored,
and it was decreed
not to eulogize
during this period. The Gemara asks:
Why do I
need it
to say: From the eighth of
Nisan?
Let
the
tanna
say: From the ninth of
Nisan,
and the eighth itself
will still be prohibited because,
as
stated earlier,
it is the day on which the daily offering was established.
