Could someone tell me where the Nehemiah fragment mentioned by VanderKam in DSST2, 49 (not a single fragment from a copy of Nehemiah was identified until 2008) was published?

Re: [Megillot] Looking for Masorah Magna
The only downloadable version I know of is Ginsburg's, at http://www.lulu.com/tigran, for a nominal fee. Logos will be releasing Weil's edition http://www.logos.com/products/prepub/details/2942 which will of course be more costly, but very searchable. Ken Ken M.

[Megillot] FW: Decoding the DSS
Forwarded for Stephen Goranson: Hi, Here's an online article, perhaps one to note for g-megillot and/or orion in the news. It's from December 2006; the title at the newsletter link, Decoding the Dead Sea Scrolls, is the same as that of a National Geographic show next Sunday, coincidentally or not. Much of it is semi-old news, but it would be nice to have a list of which texts are on goat and calf skin, to compare or contrast with those on gazelle and ibex skin. http://www.aaas.org/news/releases/2006/1108scrolls.shtml best, Stephen Goranson http://www.duke.edu/~goranson ___ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot

RE: [Megillot] Jonah in the DSS
A couple technical notes: First, when citing a reference from the Hodayot, please indicate whether you are using Sukenik's numbering for columns and lines, or Stegemann/Puech's, or something else. Of course, the passage Giuseppe referred to as 1QH 7:5 is 1QH\a XV, 4-5 in the DSSSE. Second, when citing a text, it is preferable to include both a transliteration AND the Unicode text (in Hebrew characters). Hopefully these guidelines will help keep us on the same page literally and figuratively! Ken Penner, McMaster/DSS Dead Sea Scrolls scholars' list owner, http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot It doesn't because Study Edition at 1QH 7:5 treads [] [ ][...] in 1QH 7:5 you can find a clear reminiscence of Jonah chap. 1 + 4:8 in the words )WNYH BZ(P XRY$YT. ___ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot

[Megillot] FW: Announcement: Scrolls Forum
Further to the brief notice earlier today, here is the official announcement forwarded for Ian Hutchesson: - Dead Sea Scrolls Forum -- I'd like to announce the opening of a web-based forum for Dead Sea Scrolls scholars at http://scrollsforum.com/forum and any scholar with a solid foundation in Qumran studies is welcome to register at the site. A web forum is functionally quite different from a mailing list. In fact members receive no mail whatsoever. A member visits the internet site using a web browser to access any messages that might be of interest. Web forums have proven to be a successful medium of communication in various technical and non-specialist fields, and I believe this format can be successful in the contacts of scholarly pursuit as well. Forums invariably present members with an index of topics, allowing members to follow only those topics which they are interested in. The topics I have made available include: * Texts (technical aspects) * Biblical Scrolls * Parabiblical Texts * Community related texts * Cult and Practice * Language Matters * Contexts * Archaeology If you are only interested in one of these topics you never need to look at any of the others. As this is an internet based structure, I have had to take security into consideration. Only members can read the forum material and to do so, a member must log in. Every member will have a password to access the site. There are two types of membership: general and scholarly. A general member will be able to read most forum topics, but won't be able to write to them. There will be specific general forums. To register as a general member all you need do is visit the site and follow the indication on the top right, which says Register. This will give reading access to the site. To become a scholarly member, do the same, ie register as a general member, then announce yourself by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The information you supply at registration should be sufficient to verify eligibility. It will only be a matter of a day or perhaps less before you have full access to the site. Before registering it is strongly advised that you check the forum topic called Start Here. You will find a message there aptly entitled Please read before registering! At the beginning of proceedings I will be acting as moderator. The aims of the Scrolls Forum are simple: 1) put scholars in contact with others about matters that concern them; and 2) analyse scrolls issues in a non-adversarial manner, fostering new, and improving on old, ideas. If the idea appeals to you, or if you know of someone who might be interested, please spread the word around. There are a lot of scholars working in Qumran related fields around the world, mostly left to their own devices, but, given the opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise, so much can be achieved. I think that the more scholars talk to one another the better off we all will be. Please think about joining this enterprise, if the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran archaeology are important to your interests. Your ideas can help others, as theirs can help you.

DEFINING IDENTITIES: WHO IS THE OTHER? WE, YOU,
AND THE OTHERS IN THE DEAD SEA SCROLLSINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
FOR QUMRAN STUDIES FIFTH MEETING, GRONINGEN NL The topic of "We,
You, and the Others" is intended to explore issues of self-definition of Jewish
groups in relation to, or in reaction towards other groups within Judaism
("sectarian" identity, inner-Jewish discourses and polemics), but also to
inquire into the development of Jewish identity vis-?-vis other non-Jewish
persons, groups or peoples as reflected in the Scrolls. Hopefully, research on
this topic will allow us to get a better understanding of the group or groups
behind several compositions preserved in the Qumran
collection.DateThe Fifth IOQS meeting will be held in
conjunction with the 2004 International Meeting of the Society of Biblical
Literature in Groningen.Details for registration are available athttp://www.rug.nl/theology/research/sbl/

[Megillot] Policy changes
Megillot members, In order to reduce the amount of moderator work involved in keeping the list free from unwanted email (SPAM), the following changes have been made to Megillot policy: 1. Messages from members will be distributed automatically without explicit moderator approval. However, as an unfortunate side effect, this change makes it possible for any member to SPAM the list. 2. If a member posts an inappropriate message, that member will be reminded privately of the list guidelines. 3. If inappropriate posts from that member continue, his or her membership will be revoked. In other words, the only line of defence against SPAM from now on will be approval of applications for membership. This policy has been in effect for a few days now; so far, it has been working reasonably well. If in doubt as to whether a post is appropriate, please send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for approval. Thank you for your patience and continued responsible use of the list, Ken Penner, McMaster/DSS, http://s91279732.onlinehome.us Dead Sea Scrolls scholars' list owner, http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot ___ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
