Loading... The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition (edition 2000)A handy and easily accessible study resource for the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS). In these two volumes one can systematically explore the Dead Sea Scrolls: Biblical texts are noted but not supplied, but all other non-Biblical texts, inasmuch as the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek can be deciphered, are presented. The left-hand page provides a transcription in Aramaic square-script or Greek of the original texts, and the right-hand page provides the author's translation of those texts. The texts are arranged by cave and text number. There are multiple manuscripts for many of the texts; some are somewhat close together in presentation, and others may be spread across the volume depending on where the manuscripts were discovered. For those who have some working knowledge of Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek this is a great resource for study in the DSS. |
