    Since they were first discovered in the caves at Qumran in 1947, the Dead Sea Scrolls have aroused more fascination--and more controversy--than perhaps any other archaeological find.

  • The Aleppo Codexby Matti Friedman

    Algonquin Books 2013; US$ 15.95

    A thousand years ago, the most perfect copy of the Hebrew Bible was written. It was kept safe through one upheaval after another in the Middle East, and by the 1940s it was housed in a dark grotto in Aleppo, Syria, and had become known around the world as the Aleppo Codex. Journalist Matti Friedman?s true-life detective story traces how this precious... more...

    Taylor and Francis 2007; US$ 168.00

The collection of essays addresses this... more...
