This volume is offered as a tribute to George Brooke to mark his sixty-fifth birthday. It has been conceived as a coherent contribution to the question of textuality in the Dead Sea Scrolls explored from a wide range of perspectives. These include material aspects of the texts, performance, reception, classification, scribal culture, composition, reworking, form and genre, and the issue of the extent to which any of the texts relate (to) social realities in the Second Temple period. Almost every contribution engages with Brooke's own remarkably wide-ranging, incisive, and innovative research on the Scrolls. The twenty-eight contributors are colleagues and students of the honouree and include leading scholars alongside promising new voices from across the field.

"The volume constitutes a Festschrift in the best sense, since the authors not only refer to Brooke's publications, but also build on his ideas and interests. In this case, this does not present a challenge: besides being enormous, Brooke's literary production is constantly relevant and ever inspirational.... Let us hope that this volume - which undoubtedly wull be used by Qumran specialists - will find its way into the hands of a wider scholarly audience as well." - Hanna Vanonen, in: Dead Sea Discoveries, 2019
