Pickpick

It‘s hard to review manuscripts like this, the introductory material was fascinating for the history and social structure of the sect but there was a lot of long bits about manuscript variants that would be useful to study but hard to read. The theology was amazing, the insight into the laws was amazing, bits that were just individual words on fragmentary manuscripts were disjointed for non academic readers but can‘t be helped. I‘m glad I read it

AmyG I just saw those when I was in Israel. Truly amazing. 5y

Can one book be a "haul"? I say "Yes!" if it's a Folio edition in great shape for $2.00. #foliosociety
