Overview

The first section of this volume develops a battery of scientifically-based tools to aid the reconstruction of biblical Dead Sea Scrolls, which, when applied together, are designed to improve the quality of reconstruction attainable. The focus then moves to the non-masoretic biblical scroll, 4QSama, for which 63 fragment identifications and an analysis of the character of the scroll are presented. Based upon this, a detailed reconstruction of the 4QSama fragments of 2 Samuel is undertaken by the author, thus demonstrating the new methods outlined in the first half of the book.
