Prior to the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1948, scholars
studying the passages in Josephus' works which mention the
pre-Christian sect of the Essenes attempted to explain various
sections in Josephus primarily by comparing them with what other
ancient writers, such as Philo and Hippolytus, had written
concerning this group. With the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls,
however, and the subsequent identification of the Qumran community
with the Essenes by the majority of scholars, a whole new treasure
trove of first-hand information concerning the Essenes has been
made available. This study provides the first detailed analysis of
and commentary on Josephus' description of the Essenes in the light
of the new material from Qumran. A fresh translation is provided
alongside the Greek text of the passages in Josephus, as well as a
full commentary on the major passages in which he describes this
group.
