The Aramaic texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls are among the most important discoveries
for the history of Aramaic and for the background of early Judaism and Christianity.
They constitute a missing link between Biblical Aramaic and the later Aramaic of the
targums and midrashic literature. Among them are the oldest texts we have of the Book
of Enoch and Tobit, as well as the earliest Aramaic translation of a portion of Scripture,
the Targum of Job. Other previously unknown texts such as the Genesis Apocryphon and
the Aramaic Levi Document have opened up many new avenues of research on the literature
of early Judaism, and the dialect itself is chronologically the one nearest to the
origins of Christianity. Now, for the first time, there is a comprehensive dictionary
of all the Aramaic texts from the 11 Qumran caves, from a noted specialist in Qumran
Aramaic. It is the first dictionary in any language devoted solely to this important
Aramaic corpus and contains a wealth of detail, including definitions, extensive citations
of the sources, discussions of difficult passages, revised readings, and a bibliography.
It will be an indispensable resource to anyone interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls,
the literature of early Judaism and Christianity, and the Aramaic language.
