The text Miqṣat Ma῾aśe Ha-Torah, Some of the Works of the
Torah (4QMMT), is one of the most interesting texts among the
famous Dead Sea Scrolls discovered near the settlement of Khirbet
Qumran and its vicinity in the middle of the twentieth century and
by now published in full. It is a writing in the form of a letter
by an unknown author to an equally unknown addressee, written in
second person singular and plural. This document is the earliest
evidence of a proper interpretation of the Jewish Torah, the
so-called Halakhah, from pre-Christian, Hellenistic times as it
later became customary and widely attested in rabbinical Judaism.
This volume - after a short introduction on the findings at the
Dead Sea in general and the text Miqṣat Ma῾aśe Ha-Torah in
particular - provides a new edition and translation as well as
several contributions from renowned scholars on the manuscripts,
the language and content plus literary and historical contexts of
this writing.
