A Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature (Studies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature)

System of abbreviations used for th Dead Sea Scrolls -- Dead Sea Scrolls: major publications -- Bibliographies of the Dead Sea Scrolls -- Survey reports of the discovery of the Scrolls and their contents -- List of the Dead Sea Scrolls and fragments -- Concordances, dictionaries, grammars, etc. for the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls -- Secondary collections of Qumran texts -- Translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls in collections -- Outlines of some Qumran texts The Dead Sea Scrolls are found in many varied publications -- often ordered only by publication date, rather than a more easily navigable system -- making specific texts difficult to find. Joseph Fitzmyer's guide offers a practical remedy to this dilemma. A Guide to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature starts by explaining the conventional system of abbreviations for the Scrolls. Then it helpfully lists specifically where readers can find each of the Scrolls and fragmentary texts from the eleven caves of Qumran and all the related sites, using the officially assigned numbers of the text. Fitzmyer supplies information on study tools helpful for scholars -- concordances, dictionaries, translations, outlines of longer texts, and more -- and briefly indicates electronic resources for the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
