Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Printing in English. Date on the title page. Printed in Great Britain, with 'Basil Blackwell' blacked out on the copyright page by publisher. Frontispiece, Prefaces by Author and Translator, List of Illustrations, Chronological Table, Footnotes; 100 pages. The light blue cloth has sharp corners and shows just a touch of sunning to the spine where brown lettering remains clear. The interior is creamy-bright, crisp, and completely clean. The original price-clipped dust jacket is still fresh, with just two small tears to the front panel and a hint of sunning to the spine. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] The black-and-white illustrations include a map and nine photographic plates---a scenic overview of the wilderness of Judaea as frontispiece, the 'Ain-Feshka cave, two pottery jars holding the scrolls, and seven plates of the scrolls themselves. Here is an exciting account by a scholar who "not only presents his own view of the source and significance of the texts, but offers a fuller account of their finding and their contents than can be found in any other one place in English." [Please note: my father's copy of this author's "The Jewish Sect of Qumran and the Essenes: New Studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls" is listed separately.] As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
