Can anyone here tell me what if any reception the Book of Jonah has within
the DSS? Is it found among the scrolls? Is there any comment upon it, or
use of it within the non biblical material?
Yes, the Book of Jonah is found among the Scrolls:
4QXIIa (150-125 BCE), cols. V-VII: contains Jonah 1:1-5.7-10.15-2:1.7; 3:2;
4QXIIf (ca. 50 BCE), cols. I-II: contains Jonah 1:6-8.10-16;
4QXIIg (last third of I cent. BCE), frgs. 76-91i: contains Jonah 1:1-9;
2:3-3:3; 4:5-11;
MurXII (ca. 130 CE), cols. X-XI: contains the whole book (with lacunae).
There is also a Greek translation (the so-called Kaige recension) of Jonah:
8HevXIIgr (50 BCE - 50 CE?), cols. II-III: contains Jonah 1:14-2:7; 3:2-5.7-4:2.5.
As far as I know, there is no Pesher Yonah, nor any direct citation or
paraphrase of the Book among the non-biblical texts; but in 1QH 7:5 you can
find a clear reminiscence of Jonah chap. 1 + 4:8 in the words )WNYH BZ(P
XRY$YT.
Hope this helps, Giuseppe
