Qumran Cave 4: Volume XXVI: Cryptic Texts and Miscellanea, Part 1: Miscellaneous Texts from Qumran (Discoveries in the Judaean Desert)

by Stephen Pfann (Editor), Philip Alexander (Editor)

This volume contains the texts from Cave 4 at Qumran which did not find a home in the earlier volumes of Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, which were arranged by literary genre. Although many compositions found at Qumran were works already known from the Bible, Apocrypha, or Pseudepigrapha, these texts were previously unknown and include some works composed by the Qumran community itself. In addition, the volume contains some literary and documentary texts from sites near Qumran.
