In the last several decades since the first publications of the
biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, a revolution has occurred in the
understanding of the history of the text of the Hebrew Bible during
the Second Temple period. The present volume is a collection of
articles documenting that revolution, written by Sidnie White
Crawford over an almost thirty-year period beginning in 1990. As a
member of the editorial team responsible for publishing the Qumran
scrolls, the author was responsible for the critical editions of
nine Deuteronomy scrolls and the four Reworked Pentateuch
manuscripts; thus, her work played a critical role in the changing
understanding of the textual history of the Pentateuch,especially
the book of Deuteronomy and the Rewritten Bible texts. The author's
lifework is brought together here in an accessible format. While
the majority of the articles are reprints, the volume will close
with two major new pieces: a text-critical study of the
Deuteronomic Paraphrase of the Temple Scroll and a comprehensive
overview of the history of the text of the Pentateuch.
