This monograph studies ancient tefillin (also known as
phylacteries) and mezuzot found in the Caves of Qumran. Most of
these miniature texts were published by the end of 1970s and thus
have long been available to scholars. And yet in several respects,
these tiny fragments remain an unfinished business. A close
scrutiny of their editions reveals a presence of texts that have
not been fully accounted for. These fall into three categories.
First, there are multiple tefillin and mezuzot that contain legible
fragments which their editors were unable to identify. Second,
several tefillin and mezuzot feature imprints of letters that have
not been deciphered. Third, there are texts which were
provisionally classified as tefillin and mezuzot yet left unread.
This monograph offers a detailed study of these unidentified and
undeciphered texts. It thus sheds new light on the contents of
ancient tefillin and mezuzot and on the scribal practices involved
in their preparation.
