It is well documented that the Qumran community followed a solar calendar which differed fundamentally from the lunar calendar observed at the Temple in Jerusalem. This volume contains Qumran texts which delineated the community's calendar. Some of the texts were written in a unique script known as "Cryptic A", indicating their secret nature.

Review

All scholars of Qumran texts should be grateful to the three editors who have produced this volume. For the first time we have the corpus of calendrical texts available not only in transcription but also with photographs and full supporting detail in the DJD fashion. * Dead Sea Discoveries * ...another masterpiece in the DJD series... * Sacha Stern, Journal of Semitic Studies *
