Short description:
These studies, stemming from an international symposium at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, trace an under researched trajectory of textual development for the Hebrew Bible through the Dead Sea Scrolls, sources from late antiquity, and medieval manuscripts from the Cairo Genizah.
Long description:
Biblical manuscripts from the Dead Sea and the Cairo Genizah have added immeasurably to our knowledge of the textual history of the Hebrew Bible. The papers collected in this volume compare the evidence of the biblical DSS with manuscripts from the Vienna Papyrus Collection, connected with the Cairo Genizah, as well as late ancient evidence from diverse contexts.
The resulting picture is one of a dialectic between textual plurality and fixity: the eventual dominance of the consonantal Masoretic Text over the textual plurality of the Second Temple period, and the secondary diversification of that standardized text through scribal activity.
