Qumran Cave 1 II: The Isaiah Scrolls (Parts 1 and 2)
DJD XXXII presents the first full critical edition of the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsa-a) and the Hebrew University Isaiah Scroll (1QIsa-b), which constitute almost 30% of all the preserved biblical material, in the styles of the Discoveries in the Judean Desert series. That is, whereas the photographs and transcriptions have been available since the 1950s, this volume provides a fresh transcription of all the known fragments, notes clarifying problematic readings, and the first comprehensive catalogue of the textual variants. It is not, and cannot be, a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of these highly influential manuscripts, on which numerous studies have been published over the past half century.

Part 1 contains the photographic plates (1QIsa-a in color) with the transcriptions on facing pages for easy comparison. Part 2 contains the introductions, notes, and catalogue of variants. The main introduction narrates the discovery , early history and photographing of these two manuscripts.

Eugene Ulrich, is John A. O'Brien Professor of Hebrew Scriptures at the University of Notre Dame and Chief Editor of the Qumran Biblical Scrolls.

Peter W. Flint, is Canada Research Chair in Dead Sea Scroll Studies and Director of the Dead Sea Scrolls Institute, Trinity Western University, British Columbia.
