See p. 20-23 where samples of letters which follow the countours of the damaged fragments are discussed: "They raise suspicions about the authenticity of these fragments." (p. 23) <br />Peter M.

Whilst I really would like to read all the information in the book, not quite sure I can justify spending $99 on a 240 page book.<br /><br />Main question is: any significant readings found in these DSS fragments? Analysing the image above of Jeremiah 23:6-9, I see in line 4 (from v8) that we have something like:<br /><br />יהו]ה אשר הב[י]א את בל זר[ע<br /><br />Which I believe lines up with the LXX version of the verse.<br /><br />Anymore images you'd like to share would be quite useful... :)S Walchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-19001474832803959142016-08-09T12:33:16.946+01:002016-08-09T12:33:16.946+01:00Thanks for this.

It is ...Thanks for this. Congrats to the MOB team.<br /><br />It is an unusual volume partly because of the unusual process (well explained although the oddity is not necessarily registered) of involving students in the process. The tendency may well be towards over-interpretation (not least since these are very tiny fragments) - at about 10 pages per square centimetre there is a lot of analysis that goes beyond publication of the texts. Positively this means every letter identification has some actual discussion. Negatively the actual useful information about the texts could probably have been included in a single article. <br /><br />I was also a bit disappointed, although not surprised, that more information on purchasing and collection history was not included.
