by Steven Leonard Jacobs and Steven Leonard Jacobs Aaron Aronov Chair of Judaic Studies University of Alabama

The Temple Scroll, the last of the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1967, contains two phenomena that are at variance with the Jewish tradition. Professor Jacobs presents a thorough study of ligature writing or "joined letters" and the insertion of both words and phrases between the lines of the text in The Biblical Masorah and the Temple Scroll.
