Despite the fact that this is a very technical volume, it will nevertheless be of considerable interest to laypeople concerned with the Dead Sea Scrolls.

It is Volume VIII in the series known to scholars as “DJD”—Discoveries in the Judaean Desert, the official publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls in folio volumes by Oxford University Press. This volume, by Emanuel Tov of Hebrew University is the first in the series by an Israeli scholar—indeed, the first by a Jewish scholar.
