This book offers a fresh look at the status of the scribe in
society, his training, practices, and work in the biblical world.
What was the scribe's role in these societies? Were there rival
scribal schools? What was their role in daily life? How many
scripts and languages did they grasp? Did they master political and
religious rhetoric? Did they travel or share foreign traditions,
cultures, and beliefs? Were scribes redactors, or simply copyists?
What was their influence on the redaction of the Bible? How did
they relate to the political and religious powers of their day? Did
they possess any authority themselves? These are the questions that
were tackled during an international conference held at the
University of Strasbourg on June 17-19, 2019. The conference served
as the basis for this publication, which includes fifteen articles
covering a wide geographical and chronological range, from Late
Bronze Age royal scribes to refugees in Masada at the end of the
Second Temple period.
This special edition large format LSTS volume presents, over half
of them for the first time, ten biblical and five non-biblical
fragments from the Judean Desert. The text features 42 photographs
of the fragments. The publication of seven new fragments from the
Judean Desert will supplement the Discoveries in the Judean Desert
series and bring new material to scholars regarding the full
textual situation. Two of the new biblical fragments suggest the
preservation of substantial textual variants. The new Aramaic
fragment reveals the use of interesting linguistic forms. The book
includes a 10 page essay by Martin Schoyen about how he has tracked
down and acquired Judean Desert fragments and artifacts since 1994.
The collection of images, photographs of the fragments, and
scholarly commentary from some of the leading experts in the field
gives the reader a comprehensive picture of the artifacts from
Qumran. The fragments included are: 4QLeviticusi, 4QSamueld,
4QDeuteronomy, and 4Q Twelve prophets; New (additional) fragments
of 4QPsalmsq and 4QExodusc; improved version of XJudges frg 3,
