Six essays, by one of the leading scholars of Aramaic and The Dead Sea Scrolls of his generation, cover a wide range of topics, including the first detailed study of 4Q318, a Brontologion from Qumran, an interpretation of an inscribed sherd from Masada mentioning "Ananias bar Nedebaios", a study of scribal practice and the dating of Qumran documents, a reconsideration of the "miqdash 'adam" of 4QFlorilegium, and an analysis of two calendrical texts from Qumran. These essays lay the foundation for a new understanding of the origin and character of the Scrolls.
