Discoveries in the Judaean Desert: Volume XXXIII: Unidentified Fragments from Qumran Cave 4

This volume presents unclassified and unidentified biblical and non-biblical fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran and not yet published in the DJD series. This will enable scholars to track missing fragments which can be matched with larger compositions already known.

Résumé

This volume presents the collection of fragments thus far unrecorded which are contained in forty Palestine Archaeological Museum photographs. The publication of these fragments accompanied by brief notes reveals that even small fragments which have been hitherto disregarded can provide some new Qumran words and forms. They enable scholars to add several biblical and non-biblical fragments to the corpus of fragments that warrants study. Some of these fragments originate from previously unknown compositions, while others belong to known texts. Furthermore, this volume will enable Qumran scholars to make additional identifications and to link the fragments with other known scrolls.

Texte suppl.

Pike and Skinner painstakingly provide transcriptions and comments on all the unidentified fragments that contain at least one complete word or form that could be convincingly restored ... On page after page the editors make precise observations and raise intriguing possibilities ... this is indeed a labour of love, for which all those interested in the fragments from Qumran should be grateful.
