ISBN10: 9004119345, ISBN13: 9789004119345, [publisher: Brill, Leiden] Hardcover First Edition Octavo. xxi, (1), 672, (4)pp. Plus 10 photographic plates at rear. Indices and 28 page bibliography. Text in English with some Hebrew. Black cloth lettered in gilt with publisher's device on front cover. Further illustrated with a map of the Dead Sea and an archaeological ground plan of Qumran. An ex-library copy but with minimal markings (rubber stamp on title page & bottom of text block and a library pocket on rear pastedown), otherwise fine. This volume is concerned with exploring sectarian attitudes toward wealth and the economic practices that gave rise to and issued from those attitudes. An introductory chapter establishes the state of the question. Three subsequent chapters focus on major sectarian texts: the Damascus Document, the Rule of the Community, and 4QInstruction A. Other sectarian and non-sectarian texts that mention wealth are discussed in a fifth chapter, while archaeological evidence from the Qumran region and contemporary documentary texts are introduced in chapters seven and eight. Finally, ancient secondary testimony on Essene economic practices is discussed. The book breaks new ground in arguing for several biblical rationales for the practice of shared wealth. Its integration of archaeological and documentary evidence sheds surprising new light on the economic organization of the Qumran community. (Publisher) Contents: Introduction -- Wealth ...
