The Dead Sea Scrolls Rewriting Samuel and Kings

Long neglected by scholars, the Dead Sea scrolls rewriting Samuel-Kings shed precious light on the ancient Jewish interpretation of these books. This volume brings all these texts together for the first time under one cover. Improved editions of the fragments, up-to-date commentary, and detailed discussions of the exegetical traditions embedded in these scrolls will be of interest to both scholars and students of Second Temple Jewish literature.

Résumé

"[...] an insightful addition [...] Feldman's work on these manuscripts is set apart from earlier critical editions by its masterful weaving of previous scholarly conclusions with details and insights from technological and methodological advances in the field to emphasize the value of these manuscripts to the early reception history of Samuel and Kings in the Second Temple Period."
Joshua M. Matson in: Biblische Notizen / Biblical Notes. Neue Folge 175 (2017) 147-148

"The present volume gives Qumran scholars an improved edition previously consulted with unpublished or just published (by Elisha Qimron and Kipp Davis) new editions of 4Ql6O and 4Q382. Feldman was able to include or to discuss these latest improvements of the scrolls. The Second Temple scholars and qumranologists will find the book a very useful contribution to the study of so long neglected texts from Qumran. The clear presentation of fragments, and the easy English will help not only mature scholars but also students in their research."
