| Summary: | Eight fragmentary manuscripts of the Book of Daniel survived for two millennia in the caves of Qumran. Archaeologically and palaeographically their dates span from the late second century B. C. to the middle of the first century A. D. These scrolls hold an important place in the history of biblical manuscripts, especially 4QDanc, because it is only a half century later than the composition of the Book of Daniel. A preliminary edition of the most extensively preserved scroll, 4QDana, is provided in Part 1 of this article. A preliminary edition of the other two substantially preserved scrolls from Cave 4, 4QDanb and 4QDanc, will appear as Part 2 of this article in a subsequent issue of BASOR. The editio princeps of the scrolls will appear in the series Discoveries in the Judaean Desert. |
