Temple Scroll Studies contains papers presented to the International Symposium on the Temple Scroll held at Manchester in December 1987. Four aspects of the Scroll are discussed in detail: the relation of the Scroll to the Temple structures in Jerusalem, the literary composition and status of the Scroll, the exegetical and literary affinities of the Scroll, and the character of the Scroll's law. Each of these aspects of the Temple Scroll is introduced with a major essay from one of the world's leading experts. Dedicated fittingly to the memory of Professor Yigael Yadin, this volume both advances our understanding of the Temple Scroll and those responsible for it and speaks loudly of the new direction in research on the Dead Sea Scrolls, research which is no longer narrowly restricted to the Qumran community.
