Discoveries in the Judean Desert Volume XVII - Qumran Cave 4 . XII, 1-2 Samuel

Zusatztext The Hebrew texts of the Bible found at Qumran have rewritten the text-critical textbooks for quite some time now, and the evidence gathered in this volume lies right at the heart of those developments. Klappentext The scholarly world has eagerly awaited the full presentation of the three Samuel scrolls from Cave 4. It is no exaggeration to say that the critical study and exegesis of the books of Samuel are no longer possible without these three scrolls. The final publication of 4QSama, 4QSamb, and 4QSamc in this volume thus crowns the publication activity of this series over the past decade. Zusammenfassung The modern history of the three Samuel scrolls from Cave 4 at Qumran began in 1952 when they were discovered with the great mass of scrolls from Cave 4 in clandestine excavations by Bedouin. Twenty-seven additional fragments, parts of columns II and III of 4QSama, were found in the excavations of R de Vaux and G Lankester Harding.
