Summary
  • "In this volume, Hanna Vanonen offers a fresh view to the Milḥamah and Sefer ha-Milḥamah manuscripts by producing a thorough close-reading analysis of them, paying attention not only to their contents but also to manuscripts as material artifacts. Vanonen demonstrates that studying the stability and instability of the War traditions does more justice to the complex material than a traditional chronological literary-critical model. In addition, Vanonen argues that at least liturgical use and study purposes may have created needs for producing different manuscripts that were simultaneously important"--
  • "The object of this study was the Qumran War Text manuscripts, especially those found in Cave 4 (4Q471, 4Q491a, 4Q491b, 4Q492-4Q497) that have not yet received the scholarly attention they deserve. There has been a clear need to study the Cave 4 M manuscripts in detail and in their own right, not just as additional evidence of the large and well-preserved War Scroll, 1QM"--Page 301.
