Dead Sea Scrolls Handbook presents Hebrew and Aramaic transcriptions of approximately 450 non-biblical texts from Qumran, arranged according to the sequential number of the composition and the Qumran Cave. Thus, the texts are arranged as follows: 1Q14, 1QpHab, 1Q15, 1Q16, 1Q17, and so forth. This arrangement provides straightforward access to the texts in a single volume and facilitates usage of the Handbook. The Handbook’s texts, derived from the works of competent and accomplished Qumran scholars, represent significant contributions to Qumran studies.

Since their discovery in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have become an icon in popular culture that transcends their status as ancient Jewish manuscripts. Everyone has heard of the Scrolls, but amidst the conspiracies, the politics, and the sensational claims, it can be difficult to separate the myths from the reality. 00In this Very Short introductions, Timothy Lim discusses the cultural significance of the finds, and the religious, political and legal controversies during the seventy years of study since the discovery. He also looks at the contribution the Scrolls have made to our understanding of the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, and the origins of early Christianity. Exploring the most recent scholarly discussions on the archaeology of Khirbet Qumran, and the study of the biblical texts, the canon, and the history of the Second Temple Period, he considers what the scrolls reveal about sectarianism in early Judaism. Was the archaeological site of Qumran a centre of monastic life, a fortress, a villa, or a pottery factory? Why were some of their biblical texts so different from the ones that we read today? Did they have 'a Bible'? Who were the Essenes and why did they think that humanity is to be divided between 'the sons of light' and those in darkness? And, finally, do the Scrolls reflect the teachings of the earliest followers of Jesus?

Jordanie, 1947, près des rives de la mer Morte : des bédouins découvrent dans une grotte des rouleaux de cuir «couverts de gribouillis». L'État d'Israël, créé en 1948, met tout en œuvre pour récupérer ces écrits juifs, les plus anciens jamais retrouvés. Les manuscrits, aussitôt attribués aux esséniens, une secte religieuse de la Judée antique, suscitent des débats passionnés car ils éclairent à la fois l'histoire du judaïsme et celle du christianisme. La piste des esséniens se renforce avec la fouille des ruines de Khirbet Qumrân menée par l'archéologue français Roland de Vaux entre 1951 et 1958. Proches des grottes, ces vestiges seraient ceux d'une établissement communautaire doté d'un scriptorium. Depuis, les progrès de la recherche ont obligé les archéologues à nuancer cette interprétation. Jean-Baptiste Humbert et Estelle Villeneuve nous guident dans les méandres de l'affaire Qumrân et retracent l'histoire mouvementée de l'une des plus grandes découvertes archéologiques du XXe siècle.
