Berthelot Katell, Ben Ezra D.S. (eds.) Aramaica Qumranica

Leiden, Boston: Brill, 2010. — 639 p. — (Studies on the Texts of the Desert of Judah 94).The Armaic Dead Sea Scrolls represent roughly 13% of the Qumran library and correspond to a wide range of genres and topics. This book consists of the proceedings of a conference on the Aramaic scrolls from Qumran which took place in Aix-en-Provence in 2008. It includes both the papers themselves and a transcription of the discussions. The 22 papers tackle linguistic, exegetical and historical questions, focusing in particular on: the relation of the Aramaic texts to what we know as the Hebrew Bible; their literary genres; the question of their sectarian or non-sectarian provenance; the character of the corpus, and specifically its relevance to the development of apocalypticism and messianism in the Jewish tradition.Katell Berthelot & Daniel Stokl ben Ezra
