Description

The discovery of Hebrew manuscripts of Ben Sira in the Cairo Genizah transformed the interpretation of the book. Since their discovery attention has been directed on the interpretation of the ancient book, but this volume gives serious consideration to the Hebrew manuscripts themselves. It examines the early discoveries, the codicology and reception of the manuscripts, and the light they throw on the Hebrew language and poetic techniques.
