The Aramaic texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most
important discoveries for the history of Aramaic and for the
background of early Judaism and Christianity. They constitute a
“missing link” between Biblical Aramaic and the later Aramaic
of the targums and midrashic literature. Among them are the oldest
texts we have of the Book of Enoch and Tobit, as well as the
earliest Aramaic translation of a portion of Scripture, the Targum
of Job. Other previously unknown texts such as the Genesis
Apocryphon and the Aramaic Levi Document have opened up many new
avenues of research on the literature of early Judaism, and the
dialect itself is chronologically the one nearest to the origins of
Christianity. Now, for the first time, there is a comprehensive
dictionary of all the Aramaic texts from the 11 Qumran caves, from
a noted specialist in Qumran Aramaic. It is the first dictionary in
any language devoted solely to this important Aramaic corpus and
contains a wealth of detail, including definitions, extensive
citations of the sources, discussions of difficult passages,
revised readings, and a bibliography. It will be an indispensable
resource to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the
literature of early Judaism and Christianity, and the Aramaic
language.
