About This Item
Cincinnati: Hebrew Union College Press, 1983. First edition. Hardcover. vg. Quarto. XVIII, 310pp. Original pictorial dust-jacket over cloth, with gold lettering on spine. This challenging work analyzes the recently discovered Qumran text which Yigael Yadin named "The Temple Scroll", but which Ben Zion Wacholder calls the "Qumranic Torah", i.e., the constitution of the sect. A study of the content, form and purpose of the surviving text shows its thoroughgoing similarity to the legal sections of the Torah, the Five Books of Moses. Inscribed in Hebrew on front flyleaf by Harry M. Orlinsky. Minor soiling on dust-jacket. Dust-jacket in overall good+, binding and interior in very good condition.
