Conservatism and Innovation in the Hebrew Language of the Hellenistic Period

This volume consists of an edition, a translation and a commentary of the key fragments of 4QInstruction. The scroll combines, in a new way, the practice of Wisdom and the understanding of eschatological judgment. This study substantially illuminates our comprehension of the Wisdom movement and of its influence in the early intertestamental period.

4QInstruction : sagesse et eschatologie

The present volume brings together studies by some of the best specialists on the texts and versions of the Book of Ben Sira. Each textual form is placed in its own historical context and analysed in regard to what explains the typical changes it contains.

Transmission and Interpretation

The Texts and Versions of the Book of Ben Sira

This volume brings together studies by some of the best specialists of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Pauline literature. The authors explore the relationships between these two corpora in order to explain them more accurately and explain better the diffusion, transformations and reconfiguration of Jewish traditions into Mediterranean Judaism.
