Collected Studies
Seiten
Devorah Dimant versammelt in diesem Band siebenundzwanzig vollständig überarbeitete und teilweise neu geschriebene Aufsätze zu den verschiedenen Aspekten der Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer, die sie in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten veröffentlicht hat. Die Autorin behandelt zentrale Themen der Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer und reflektiert die rasche Ausbreitung und den Wandel der Forschungsperspektive auf die Sammlung in den Jahren nach ihrer vollständigen Veröffentlichung.
In this volume Devorah Dimant assembles twenty-seven thoroughly updated and partly rewritten articles discussing various aspects of the Dead Sea Scrolls that she published over the past three decades. An introductory essay written especially for this volume surveys the present state of research on the Scrolls. Dealing with major themes developed in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the author reflects the rapid expansion and change of perspective that has taken place in research on the collection in recent years following its full publication. Among the topics treated are the nature and contents of the Scrolls collection as a whole, the specific literature of the community that owned this collection, the Aramaic texts and the apocryphal and pseudepigraphic works found therein. Each of these chapters contains an inventory list of the texts under discussion. In the article on the entire Scrolls collection she provides an updated inventory and analysis of all the Dead Sea Scrolls. Besides these general surveys, the volume includes discussions of particular themes such as the history of the community related to the Scrolls, its self-image and particular interpretation of biblical prophecies, and its notion of time. In addition, various previously unknown apocryphal works found among the Scrolls are analyzed, such as Pseudo-Ezekiel (4Q385-4Q386,4Q388), Apocryphon of Jeremiah C (4Q385a-4Q390), Apocryphon of Joshua (4Q522), Pesher on the Periods (4Q180, with a fresh edition), and a new edition and interpretation of the Words of Benjamin (4Q548).
