Rashi, on Esth 9:32

“And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.”

“Now Esther’s order confirmed, etc. Esther requested of the sages of the generation to commemorate her and to write this book with the rest of the Holy Writings, and that is the meaning of “and it was inscribed in the book.””
