Inside this Book – It should be noted that this collection does not include the Biblical texts discovered in the caves around Qumran but does include everything else: the community’s sectarian texts, apocryphal and pseudepigraphal texts, commentaries on the Biblical texts, compositions written according to the themes of the Biblical texts, etc. Vermes consolidates texts which feature many manuscripts and notes which manuscripts underlie which sections.

This is a highly recommended translation of the DSS especially for those who are interested in learning more about them but are not specialists in the field.
