Endnote 3 - Glossary

A genizah is a storage site for sacred Jewish books which are no longer fit for liturgical usage. A very important genizah was rediscovered at the end of the last century in the Old Jewish Synagogue in Fostat, or Old Cairo. The documents that it contains are an invaluable source for the study of medieval Jewry and traditional Jewish texts. According to one estimate, it contains scraps of several thousand biblical manuscripts.

Endnote 2 - Glossary

These texts are commentaries which see events referred to in prophetic literature and Psalms as actualized prophecy, namely, as referring to events that are taking place in the author’s lifetime. They provide important background for the study of the Gospels.

Endnote 1 - Glossary

All scrolls from Qumran are numbered. For biblical texts, the first number is the cave in which they were found (1–11); this is followed by Q, for Qumran, then the biblical book in abbreviated form and a superscript letter, which differentiates between different manuscripts from the same cave of the same work. Thus 1QIsaa is the first manuscript (a) of Isaiah (Isa) from Cave 1 at Qumran (1Q).
