It is the most significant discovery of biblically related ancient manuscripts, and represents more than 600 ancient Jewish documents. The series being published by J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck) and Westminster/John Knox Press will present an introduction, critical text, and literal English translations of all Dead Sea Scrolls which are not copies of books in the Hebrew Bible. This series is the defenitive collection of the Dead Sea Scrolls and will conclude with a volume on the Biblical Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and a concordance to the collection. Thirty-eight scholars from Canada, Germany, Israel, the United States, and other countries serve as subeditors in the series.The first volume contains the first improved edition of 1QS with a critical apparatus, all the fragments of the Rule of the Community found in Caves IV and V a literal translation to each of these, which is prepared so that the Hebrew is on the left page and the translation on the right. Critical notes help the scholar understand the text, the variants, philological subtleties, and explain the translations.
