Descripción
Sumario:The Dead Sea Scrolls comprise the most important manuscript discovery in the field of biblical and early Jewish studies to have been made this century. They were first discovered in 1947 in a cave above the Dead Sea near the ruins of Qumran, and in subsequent years in ten more caves in which approximately 800 manuscripts were finally brought to light. Further manuscript and epigraphs were also found in the desert of Judah. These documents date from c. 300 BCE to 70 CE. They provide unique and invaluable information on the textual transmission of the hebrew Bible, and on the history of Ancient Judaism and the beginnings of Christianity. Yet many of these documents still remain unpublished over 40 years after their discovery. With the publication of "The Dead Sea Scrolls on Microfiche" schoars can for the first time in history gain full access to the discoveries. This collection makes available all the known written documents and several artifacts from the Desert of Judah. This edition contains some 5000 photographs and is accompanied by a printed guide which is based on the Dead Sea Scroll Inventory Project from the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center in Calremont, California.
