Dead Sea Scrolls Concordance

de Martin G. Abegg, James E. Bowley, Edward M. Cook, Emanuel Tov

Vol 1, pt. 1-2: "For decades a concordance of all the Dead Sea Scrolls has been a major desideratum for scholarship. The Dead Sea Scrolls Concordance covers all the Qumran material as published in the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series, as well as the major texts from caves 1 and 11, which appeared elsewhere. This keyword-in-context concordance, prepared by Martin G. Abegg in collaboration with other scholars, contains a new and consistent linguistic analysis of all the words found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The total number of entries is around 134,000. Every entry includes the keyword with its context, exactly as published in the editions referred to above, with notes on some readings. All keywords have an English translation, and they are listed in alphabetical order rather than by verbal root, which makes the concordance easier to consult for the non-specialist. This concordance to the non-biblical texts from Qumran is the first of a projected series of three. Future volumes will consist of concordances to the biblical texts from Qumran and to the texts from other sites in the Judean Desert."-- Vol. 2: " The Dead Sea Scrolls Concordance, Volume 2, presents for the first time an index to the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek text of the non-biblical, non-Qumran Judaean Desert documents in one publication. The contents of this volume are defined by E. Tov’s Revised Lists (Brill, 2010). In the main the Concordance serves as an index for volumes II and III of the Judean Desert Studies (JDS), volumes II, XXVII, XXVIII, and XXXVIII of the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert (DJD), and volumes I, II, and VI of Masada: The Yigael Yadin Excavations 1963-1965, Final Reports."-- Vol. 3, pt. 1-2: "This keyword-in-context concordance, prepared by Martin G. Abegg, Jr., James E. Bowley and Edward M. Cook contains a new and consistent linguistic analysis of all the words found in the biblical Dead Sea Scrolls. The total number of entries totals nearly 95,000 words. Every entry includes the keyword with its context. All keywords have an English translation, and the Hebrew and Aramaic sections are organized in alphabetical order rather than by verbal root, which makes the concordance easier to consult for the non-specialist. This concordance to the biblical texts from the Judaean Desert is the third of a series of three. Volume one consists of concordances to the non-biblical texts from Qumran and the second volume will index all the non-biblical texts from sites other than Qumran."--
