The Dead Sea Psalms Scrolls and the Book of Psalms
Peter W. Flint
BRILL
Among the Dead Sea Scrolls, psalms are found in no less than 39 manuscripts. This volume provides a study of these scrolls, by presenting primary data and investigating the main issues that arise. The first part provides information such as descriptions of the manuscripts, listings of variant readings, a synopsis of superscriptions and indices of contents of all the Psalms scrolls. The second part investigates the issues, some of which are relevant to the "Book of Psalms" itself (such as stabilization in two distinct stages), while others focus upon IIQPsa, the largest Psalms scroll (for example, part of an edition of the "Book of Psalms"), and one examines the relation of these manuscripts to the Septuagint Psalter.
