Description:

The fourth and last volume of the parabiblical texts from Cave 4 at Qumran reveals once again the interest in biblical themes characteristic of Second Temple period Judaism and is devoted to a group of texts rewriting two biblical prophetic books, Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Synopsis:

This is the fourth and last volume of parabiblical texts from Qumran Cave 4 and reveals once again the interest in biblical themes characteristic of Second Temple period Judaism, exhibited in many of the Qumran compositions. It is devoted to a small group of texts showing the rewriting, in different ways, of two biblical prophetic books, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Because of their fragmentary nature it is not clear how many copies or even compositions are reflected by the preserved fragments: at least five manuscripts of one composition of Pseudo-Ezekiel, and seven manuscripts of two different compositions of the Apocryphon of Jeremiah.
