Recenzii

The editors are to be congratulated on both their careful work and the speed with which they hve produced this fine volume.
Alexander and Vermes vigorously defend their ambitious reconstructions of the Cave 4 manuscripts. While this approach will surely draw fire from some, it is to be preferred, inasmuch as the preserved texts have already been published in different venues and are well known.
this volume is well worth the wait. A and V have done sterling work, and we are in their debt.
a volume that reads like a seamless whole, rich with palaeographical, linguistic and historical information ... this official volume renders all others obsolete, stamped as it is by the sure hand and authoritative transcription, translation and commentary of the editors ... This volume provides many insights and corrections to previous scholarship ... exemplary in its presentation and discussion of one of the key texts of the Qumran community. Both Alexander, whoprepared the plates himself, and Vermes deserve thanks for setting all future research on the Rule of the Community on such solid ground.
