Book The Zadokite Fragments and the Dead Sea Scrolls

Download or read book The Zadokite Fragments and the Dead Sea Scrolls written by Harold Henry Rowley and published by Oxford : B. Blackwell. This book was released on 1952 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a short general account of the Zadokite Work, fragments of which were found half a century ago, and of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which were found in 1947, Professor Rowley gives a critical review of all the theories of the date of these texts and of the sect from which they came, and finally offers his own view on these questions. His book gives a more extensive survey of the discussion these texts have provoked than can be found in any other work, and it rests on a fuller control of the vast literature written about them than anything so far published [1952]. [Front cover of dust jacket].

Book The Damascus Document

    Book Details:
  • Author : Steven D. Fraade
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2021-11-19
  • ISBN : 0191083526
  • Pages : 206 pages

Download or read book The Damascus Document written by Steven D. Fraade and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steve D. Fraade offers a new translation, with notes, and detailed commentary to the Dead Sea Scroll most commonly called the Damascus Document, based on both ancient manuscripts from caves along the western shore of the Dead Sea, and medieval manuscripts from the Cairo Geniza. The text is one of the longest and most important of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Its importance derives from several aspects of its contents: its extensive collections of laws, both for the sectarian community that authored it and for the rest of Israel; some of the oldest examples of scriptural interpretation, both legal and narrative, both implicit and explicit, with important implications for our understanding of the evolving status of the Hebrew canon; some of the clearest expressions, often in hortatory form, of the community's self-understanding as an elect remnant of Israel that understands itself in dualistic opposition to the rest of Israel, its practices, and its leaders; important expressions of the community's self-understanding as a priestly alternative to the sacrificial worship in the Jerusalem Temple; expressions of an apocalyptic, eschatological understanding of living as the true Israel in the "end of days;" important expressions of attitudes toward woman, sexual activity, and marriage; importance for our understanding of ancient modes of teaching and of ritual practice; importance for the study of the history of the Hebrew language and its scribal practices. The volume contains a substantial introduction, dealing with these aspects of the Damascus Document and locating its place within the Dead Sea Scrolls more broadly as well as the historical context of ancient Judaism that gave rise to this text.

Book THE DAMASCUS FRAGMENTS

Download or read book THE DAMASCUS FRAGMENTS written by Arianna D'Ottone Rambach and published by Ergon. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Beiträger des Bandes haben es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den umfangreichen Bestand an Handschriftenfragmenten, der sich in der Qubbat al-khazna von Damaskus befindet, in der Geschichte des Mittleren Ostens zu verorten. Ebenso wie ihr berühmtes Pendant, die Geniza in Kairo, wurde die Qubba im 19. Jahrhundert "entdeckt", doch ihre 200.000 Fragmente fanden in der Forschung bisher nur geringe Aufmerksamkeit. Ein internationales und interdisziplinäres Team von Wissenschaftlern hat sich nun zusammengefunden, um die faszinierende Geschichte dieser Sammlung zu skizzieren und die außergewöhnlichen multilingualen, multireligiösen und multiscripturalen Artefakte, die sie beinhaltet, zu erfassen. Dieses Buch ist grundlegend für jene, die an Handschriftenstudien, Philologie und an der Geschichte des Mittleren Ostens interessiert sind.

  • Author : Philip R. Davies
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 1983-04-01
  • ISBN : 0567051676
  • Pages : 276 pages

Download or read book The Damascus Covenant written by Philip R. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1983-04-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Damascus Document is the most important witness to the origins of the Qumran community. The author surveys previous research, with particular emphasis on the syntheses of H. Stegemann and J. Murphy-O'Connor. A more comprehensive view of the redaction and ideology of the document is offered, leading to the conclusion that it is originally a product of a community which traced its origins to the Babylonian exile. The extant Cairo manuscripts represent a Qumran recension, confirming the opinion of many scholars that the Qumran community originated as a splinter movement from an earlier and larger community. The Hebrew text and a translation are provided.

Book The Damascus Document

Download or read book The Damascus Document written by Steven D. Fraade and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Damascus Document is an ancient Hebrew text that is one of the longest, oldest, & most important of the ancient scrolls usually referred to collectively as the Dead Sea Scrolls. Its oldest parts originate in the mid- to late 2nd century BCE. While the earliest discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls occurred in 1947, the Qumran Damascus Document fragments were discovered in 1952 (but not published in full until 1996), mainly in what is designated as Qumran Cave Four. However, it is unique in that two manuscripts (MS A & MS B) containing parts & variations of the same text were discovered much earlier, in 1896, among the discarded texts of the Cairo Geniza, the latter being written in the 10th-11th centuries CE. Together, the manuscripts of the Damascus Document, both ancient & medieval, are an invaluable source for understanding many aspects of ancient Jewish (& before that Israelite) history, theology, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Damascus Document is one of the key texts to have been discovered in both spectacular Jewish manuscript discoveries of the 20 th century: the Cairo Genizah and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The legal part of this document has until recently received little scholarly attention. With the recent publication of eight manuscripts of the Damascus Document from cave 4, which provide a substantial amount of additional legal material, the legal part of this document is set to be the focus of research in coming years. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the Laws of the Damascus Document which fully incorporates the new cave 4 evidence. The author offers a close reading of the text and identifies a number of literary strata as well as a considerable amount of redactional activity.
