They constitute a “missing link” between Biblical Aramaic and the later Aramaic of the targums and midrashic literature. Among them are the oldest texts we have of the \u003ci\u003eBook of Enoch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTobit\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the earliest Aramaic translation of a portion of Scripture, the \u003ci\u003eTargum of Job\u003c\/i\u003e. Other previously unknown texts such as the \u003ci\u003eGenesis Apocryphon\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eAramaic Levi Document\u003c\/i\u003e have opened up many new avenues of research on the literature of early Judaism, and the dialect itself is chronologically the one nearest to the origins of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, for the first time, there is a comprehensive dictionary of all the Aramaic texts from the 11 Qumran caves, from a noted specialist in Qumran Aramaic. It is the first dictionary in any language devoted solely to this important Aramaic corpus and contains a wealth of detail, including definitions, extensive citations of the sources, discussions of difficult passages, revised readings, and a bibliography. It will be an indispensable resource to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the literature of early Judaism and Christianity, and the Aramaic language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41037744504929,"sku":"9781575063416","price":49.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28984167.jpg?v=1723109367","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781575063416-dict-of-qumran-aramaic","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
