[Megillot] dss bible

[Jim West]

Listers may be interested to know that the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible (in 
Hebrew) is planned for publication the summer of 2005.  Two years ago while 
at the CBA meeting in San Francisco, Eugene Ulrich mentioned (when I asked 
him if there were any plans for such a thing) that yes, indeed, there 
were.  I had not thought of it again until a few days ago so I wrote him 
and sure enough, its in the works.  Here is what he said:
 begin quote>>>>

There will be two forms (I hope).
One is THE QUMRAN BIBLE which is basically BHS but with (only those parts of)
the text as preserved at Qumran (only). Probably by Oxford U. P.
The second is THE BIBLICAL QUMRAN SCROLLS which is the transcriptions + 
variants
(only) of all the biblical fragments as in DJD, in biblical order. Probably by
Brill.
<<<<<< end quote.

I am sure these volumes will become very significant and thus I feel 
certain that others would appreciate the "heads up" so they can watch for 
publication announcements.
