International Organization for Qumran Studies. Meeting's Books

New Qumran Texts and Studies contains eighteen papers delivered at the first meeting of the newly formed International Organization for Qumran Studies which was held in Paris in 1992. Several are detailed preliminary editions of previously unedited fragments of Bible, rewritten Bible, halakhah, and liturgy. Others show how scholars have begun to grapple with the vast amount of new information in all the texts that were released in 1991: newly available fragments are used to inform the discussion of texts in other scrolls from Qumran as well as passages of other Jewish texts and the New Testament. Yet others display how recent methodological innovations provide new ways of reading texts that have long been known.

At the third meeting of the International Organisation for Qumran Studies, held in Oslo in 1998, a variety of papers were presented concerning the study of the Sapiential, Liturgical and Poetical Texts from Qumran. The fourteen papers selected for this volume are arranged in three sections. 'Sapiential Texts' contains four studies on different wisdom texts from Cave 4; 'Liturgical and Poetical Texts' is formed by seven papers dealing with independent poetic or liturgical compositions; while 'Qumran Wisdom and the New Testament' presents three papers that explore the relationship of wisdom materials found at Qumran and some passages of the New Testament. The volume is published in memory of Maurice Baillet, who passed away shortly before the meeting. It contains a biographical sketch and his complete bibliography provided by Emile Puech.

This volume presents the first publication of some new legal texts from Qumran, and studies of previously unknown legal texts, including 4QMMT. It also offers analysis of several legal issues, including some relevant to the study of the New Testament.

Papers presented at the IOQS meeting in Ljubljana Qumran Cave 1 Revisited: Reconsidering the Cave 1 Texts Sixty Years after Their Discovery, on the two Isaiah scrolls, the Community Rule, the War Scroll, the Thanksgivings Scroll, and the Genesis Apocryphon.

This selection of papers read at the 5th meeting of the IOQS offers the explorations of the forming and defining of the identities of the group or groups behind the Dead Sea Scrolls by the foremost specialists in the field.

Reflecting the increasing recognition of the importance of legal texts and issues in early Judaism, the essays in this collection examine halakhic and rule texts found at Qumran in light of the latest scholarship on text production, social organization, and material culture in early Judaism. The contributors present new interpretations of long-lived topics, such as the sobriquet "seekers of the smooth things," the Treatise of the Two Spirits, and 4QMMT, and take up new approaches to purity issues, the role of the maśkil, and the Temple Scroll. The volume exemplifies the range of ways in which the Qumran legal texts help illuminate early Jewish culture as a whole.

Recent Dead Sea Scrolls research pays much attention to the question which texts were seen as scriptures, in which forms scriptures as well as scriptural traditions were transmitted, how the scrolls can illuminate the gradual move from authoritative scriptural texts to canon, and which different kinds of scriptural interpretation are attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls. This volume contains twelve essays read at the seventh meeting of the International Organization for Qumran Studies that address these questions either broadly, or in relation to specific texts.
