| Description: | The Aramaic Dead Sea Scrolls represent roughly 13% of the Qumran library and correspond to a wide range of genres and topics. This book consists of the proceedings of a conference on the Aramaic scrolls from Qumran which took place in Aix-en-Provence in 2008. It includes both the papers themselves and a transcription of the discussions. The 22 papers tackle linguistic, exegetical and historical questions, focusing in particular on: the relation of the Aramaic texts to what we know as the Hebrew Bible; their literary genres; the question of their sectarian or non-sectarian provenance; the character of the corpus, and specifically its relevance to the development of apocalypticism and messianism in the Jewish tradition. Contributors include: Hugo Antonissen, Jonathan Ben-Dov, Moshe J. Bernstein, Katell Berthelot, John J. Collins, Devorah Dimant, Lorenzo DiTommaso, Esther Eshel, Hanan Eshel (ז'ל), Steve Fassberg, Jörg Frey, Florentino Garcia-Martinez, Jan Joosten, Armin Lange, Michael Langlois, Thierry Legrand, André Lemaire, Emile Puech, Ursula Schattner-Rieser, Daniel Stökl Ben Ezra, Michael Stone, Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Samuel Thomas, and Matthias Weigold. |
